Is it a reef tank or FOWL? I would say around 900 gph would be a good bet depending on the stock, on my 54 I have 700 gph.I am getting a 125 gallon saltwater tank with 2 overflows. I will using an eshopps wd 150 on the tank and some type of protein skimmer. I want a submersible pump, how many gph should that pump be?
what fish do you plan on getting? Larger fish (puffers, triggers, lion fish, etc.) I'd say a 1050, if you are getting a community tank with blennies, gobies, clownfish, mandarins, etc. then I'd say the 850It’s a FOWL, I found 2 pumps I really like, they come in either 800gph or 1050gph. What would be better?
I like close to 15x the tank volume, though my tank is a reef tankWith sw I like 5-10x tank volume. Then make up the rest with powerheads

Good bet, hope you enjoy saltwater, it's funI’m planning on do larger fish. I’m gonna go with the 1050
Through your sump?? Seems high but if it works it worksI like close to 15x the tank volume, though my tank is a reef tank
Fwiw I'm using a fluval sp4 ( bullet proof motor) throttled with a valve on a 210. I want to run it at 50% so I'm close to 5x tank volume. The stock will be an emporer angel with supporting cast or a clown trigger with whatever will survive. I did a similar setup in the past with a 180 and a porky.I’m planning on do larger fish. I’m gonna go with the 1050
