So I just picked up a nice 6 footer. I am like a kid in a candy store with stock ideas, I need some input.

The only thing I have set in stone is that I want a a pair can fit comfertably in a 125.

What kind of tank do you want?
Just one pair of cichlids? A community of cichlids? Do you want other non cichlid fish in there?
Give us a bit more info and in sure you will get lots of suggestions.

If you want a pair as well as other cichlids, you will have to go with smaller cichlids like Sajica, Honduran red points, panamensis, something along those lines.
If you want a lone pair, you could probably do most cichlids that get to 12" or so. Divider might be required for some of the more aggressive ones.
Some suggestions for solo pair:
Tetracanthus
Green terrors
Para. Loisellei
Amphilophus saggitae

plenty of others

Looking for a pair that can fill out the tank with the male topping out ~14in.
