What kind of circulation pump should I have in my 125 gallon tank? I want to eliminate dead spots and push detritus toward my filters. Any help is appreciated.

What filters, fish & décor do you have? Is this your big cichlid tank? I have a little Koralia (400?) that probably isn't big enough for that tank. I also use a Maxi-Jet 1200 that might help you. The real trick is to position the powerhead to actually propel the crud into the filter intakes. Have you played around with filter returns & intake placement? IF you can get those right, you may not need anything else.
I'm not familiar with that brand of PH but sounds like my MaxiJet for flow. Be prepared to try different positioning to get optimal detritus removal. You can also add a sponge to the PH intake to grab some of the "crud". It'll need to be rinsed every week or 2 if you try it, but easier than cleaning filters.
