Would a 500' coil in 3' or 4' tall cylinder and 4" diameter be too much for a 125g? If not what would the drip rate be?

Would (2) 250' coils with one outlet be a better choice?

Seems more water would be processed with a longer length. Also a faster flow rate could be allowed which would in turn move more water through the denitrator which would allow the tank to be turned over more often that would decrease the nitrates overall. The output would be reoxygenated through a trickle filter with liverock, so the oxygen level in the water should not be a concern before returning to the main display tank.

I'm I on the totally wrong path or semi wrong?

Thanks
