Should have bought All-Glass.

All-Glass tanks cost more than acrylic tanks. There's no way I was going
to pay over $700 for a drilled 125 gallon tank.

Well - they are designed for reef tanks with much more circulation in mind.
They usually have at least two overflow in corners, sometimes one more
in the center and allow you to have thousands of gallons per hour flow...

You do not need this in a freshwater tank, so you should be good with what you got.

If you're only pumping that much water, you're nowhere near the limit a 1" pipe
can handle. Double the capacity of your pump.
