Enough waterflow for a 125g? Also other questions

[beatlesfan]

1.As some of you may know i have a 125g tank (6' long). I have these set up and would like to know if this is good flow? I did a quick estimation and i think it's anywhere from 15-18 times my water flow.

2. I have one small powerhead (see second one) flowing out of one of my larger caves. Is this ok?

I would stay away from rios, they are known to break down and realse oils that can crash a tank. Go with 2 seios or tunze instead, or to save money 2 modded maxijet 1200

2 problems.
1. ALREADY PURCHASED
2. Those are the older models. the newer ones contain nothign but epoxy.

Ok, sorry, didn't know that about them. If your doing FO it should be fine, you might want a little more flow if your doing a reef.

It's ok. Sorry if i came on strong, just not many people know that the new rio's do not use oil. The RIO company is going to get slammed for that for a long time.

I personally had loss lifestock because of the particular model Rio 800 burning up in my tank releasing oily poison in the water. It has happened to me twice with two different 800 pumps.

no dis-respect but as stated above no RIO's use oil anymore. only epoxy. Also i am using the 200UL and the 32HP not any 800's and they are not my pumps.
