[i_seamonkeys]

Ok I have a drilled 125gal sitting in my room and i was thinking of all the stuff i need for it. I was wondering how many GPH pumps and filters i need... Sry if you cant understand the question, i just know that pumps and filters go by GPH I just need to know how many i need to be pushing.... Thanks

Pumps should turn over the volume of the aquarium 10-15 times per hour. Ex A 100g tank should have 1000 to 1500g every hour depending on your livestock. I would recommend buying 2 pumps instead of 1 just in case 1 fails. Hope this helps ! Good luck.

Depends on what you are trying to do in the tank...

I have a 2200gph in my 125. A little much as I have the valve a little shut but I wouldnt go any lower than 1500-1800. It also depends on what size and how many drains you are using too.
