I am designing my 125 gallon tank right now. I am going to buy some tunze pumps soon and need some suggestions. First off I was going to have 4 pumps, is this too much? Also for a 125 should I go with the 6060 or the 6080 model? I can't do the wavemaker models right now not enough $$$.

You may want to consider starting out with (2) 6000. There more money but you can add a controller later (you can’t with the 6060, 6080) and you can upgrade them to the 6100 just by changing the transformer. You can always add 2 more as funds permit.

If at first it doesn't fit get a bigger hammer - Beat to fit paint to match

IF possible, go for at least 2x6000 or preferably 2x6100 as a start. Controllers can be added later on when you have the funds.
In my 250G, I started off with 2x6100 then added another and then added another. So ended up with 4 x 6100s. RegardsFarish

jeff,
after my disaster with oceanic,i am so afraid of glass tanks...i think wavebox can create a lot of stress to the glass.....
i think if u add other 6100 u should be fine....have i tought about enductors on ur return,they create a lot of flow...
