All the heaters are like 50$ a piece and rated for like 40 gallons....what is the best way to heat 125 g?

If you have a canister filter, with the correct diameter hoses, the Hydor ETH is a great heater for a 125G tank, IMO. Of course this also depends on the ambient temperature of the room and the tank temperature requirement of your fish. I use one 300W one on my 125 and one on my 220G tanks.

i plan on using 500w on my 125. the old norm would be 5watts per gallon. give or take

Look for online vendors. You can find 400 watt Hydor Theo heaters for a little under $30
