Turbelle Nanostream 6095 Controllable (528-2510 GPH) - Tunze

Would 2 of these, one on each side of the aquarium, be suitable for a 125? Fish and live rock for now but will eventually want some easy soft corals.

Any other recommendations for powerheads?

125 x 30 = 3750
2510 + 2510 = 4520
4520 > 3750 = Great..

In general for a basic tank/softies 30x display tank size in GPH is perfect..
You are just a bit over that when those are on 100%..

Thank You. I assume these would be fine also... I have these in my cart but haven't bought them yet. Would there be an advantage to these over the smaller ones?

You’re not gonna find a more reliable power head than the Tunzes. That said, with a 6 foot long tank, I’d go with the larger ones as they can always be turned down.
