circulation pump

So i have a 125 g tank. Should i have a circulation pump. But i dont really like power heads and circulation pumps. So should i really have one

It's preference but I think it'll help. I use them to keep poop from settling on my sand. I have one pointing toward bottom front and another on the other end pointing toward bottom back and nothing settled on sand. Ill never not use them.

Depends on your stock of fish. I added a hydor to my 125 planted angelfish tank and my angels hated it. They just stayed in the corners and rarely moved throughout the tank. The pump was acting up so I took it out and my angels thanked me. The concept and intentions are good, but sometimes adding too much circulation can harm your tank.

Yrs my fish hate but if you think about south smericans come from lakes and rivers not too much water flow there
