125 stocking suggestions?

I initally thought that but I have been reading articles saying that 99% of Limas sold in the US are actually Sorubim elongatus that reach only 12 inches.

This is correct

Jaws is right.

You can get pool filter sand its easy to clean and heavier than the play sand sold at lowes or home depot. I would stay away from that stuff

Couldn't agree more. I used play sand for years but have recently been starting to switch over all my tanks to PFS. Been replacing impellers on fx5's on a yearly bases in my tanks with playsand, at $50 a pop it's gettin' old real fast.

Anything special about pool filter sand that I need to do to make it fish safe or can it just go in the tank?

PFS is usually cleaner than a lot of sands out there it seems, but I always just give it a quick wash first in a bucket.
