Do you think I should add a power head to my tank?

Nice looking tank. What is you current turnover of the water in your tank? My lps don't like to much flow but they do like some. I think my tank is around 30 to 40 times the size of my tank. I have read 40 to 50 is recommended but my coral all seem to like the lower flow.

 

[Darylb]

My tank is 34 litres and the turnover is 480 litres per hour I don't know if that's good or not

That's great. That's 14 times an hour. An additional small powerhead may help with surface agitation which will aid in gas exchange keeping your PH more stable.
