Would this be to much on my tank with Powerheads?

    I have a bow front tank 125 gal, ITs almost impossible to figure out a good configuration to keep everything moving.

    Currently I only have 1 Koralia 1400 GPH pump in since the other died last week.

    I was thinking of getting 2 of the Seio 1500 GPH

    Would this be overkill for the tank?

    No. All three together is only 35x turnover which is considered moderate flow. If you have a sump, you'll need to factor in the flow rate of your return, but it's definitely not overkill.
