    You guys are too funny! I am going to look at the first 125 this week. If it is not in good shape I will definitely keep looking. We are planning to add an extra room in the future. This is where the second big upgrade would go ;)

    Well seeing as we right now have a 55 gal in our foyer, 28 in our living room, 8 in our kitchen, 10 in the spare bedroom, 46 in our bedroom, and 40 in the basement, I think she is already the best ;)

    She has been very supportive of my hobbies throughout the 12 years we have been together; at least I finally found one she enjoys as well!

    Yup. Sad thing is, if I do upgrade to a 125, it will only replace the 55! The 10 is just a HT, and will come down once it is not needed. The 40 in the basement was supposed to be a frag tank, but may not be needed if I do upgrade and there is room in the stand.

    If I had to pick between the two 125's go with the first one hands down. You can't rely on the second one not being tempered and not being able to drill it. Starting out drilled from the go is just so much easier and better off. A 12 bulb fixture alone makes the price with it alone.
