Yes, the flow rate is adversely affected after going through additional equipment. Additional power head to disperse CO2 would be nice. But before wasting money on additional equipment. Make a check on your current water circulation first,
Good way to judge, is by looking at your plants to see if they move gently when there is water current.
Another way to see if water circulation is good, is to observe when oxygen bubbles released from plants, do they go up straight or do the oxygen trail sways gently. Swaying of oxygen trails is a good sign of good water movement.
If you already have the above mentioned observation, then additional power head or extra filter will not be required despite your present hook ups of equipment. Eheim 2028 has a good flow rate in my opinion, good choice bro. Additional equipment means more pipes in your tank, I personally dislike extras in my tank but its a preference to individual.
Here is the catch, when your plants start to grow, water circulation will be affected. Do check again from time to time. I guess you learned that good water circulation is important as it distributes ferts and CO2 evenly, catching the trick of the trade fast .
