Powerheads For 125 Gallon Reef Tank

[old_salt]

Talked to a fellow today that recommended that I use 4 powerheads in my new 125 gallon tank. He suggested that I put one in each corner, with one low and one high facing each other. He suggested that I put them on a timer so that one set (one high and one low) comes on for 15 minutes, shuts down and then the second set comes on for 15 minutes. Sounds like a good plan to me for keeping water flowing in this tank but just not sure what size powerheads I should get to accomplish this in a 125 gallon tank. Don't have the exact measurements of the tank handy, but here is a photo of the one being delivered in a couple weeks.

If you haven't bought them already, maybe look into a closed loop system, instead of the PH's. I'm not liking the imense sucking power, new rattling noises, sucKtion cup slipping of a powerhead with the ensuing mini sandstorm

. With a few new oceans motions devices soon i will design a closed loop for my system

well i have a closed loop and powerheads in my 180 lol
closed loops are great but sometimes u still need more flow thats why i added a Seio 1500 and a Seio 820 to my tank
u can add 2 seio 1100's on a seio multicontroller or 2- seio 1500's
the best are Tunzee powerheads on a multicontroller
