I have the 125g up and running now.
I will be adding pictures tomorrow when every thing settles. the following is what was done with the help of wattsupdoc (he did the most).
Built stand and bench for the 125g
55 sump
built the light system for a pair of lights to be on there own timer.
plumping is setup so all I have to do is hook a water hose to one end and turn the valve on and it will pump out the water need for a water change then close the valve and turn on the pump to fill the sump backup.

it is a very sweat setup

wattsupdoc if you don't mind explaining more on the setup would be greatfull

Got her all plumbed and flowing huh? So the transfer went good from the 55? Everybody doing well I suppose? Let me link the two threads that are associated with this tank now.
Heres the build thread for this tank.

Looks good!

This is an AGA 125.
Custom made bench stand and canopy.
Bench flips up and holds 3, 10 gallons , 2 for water changes and one for ATO.
ATO is through a timeclock, aqualifter and float vlave.
Sump is a perfecto 55 gaL flow through design with fuge compartment, skimmer compartment and return pump comartment. In that order.
2 connections for water changes.
Return pump is a mag 12, split returns.
OF is a 1200 GPH CPR style, with aqualifter installed.
Additional flow via 2 koralia 4's.
Lighting, 3 sets of Tek 2 lamp retro 39w. T5 Ho's With room to expand to an additional 3 sets. Currently 4 12,000 k UVL's and 2 superactinics.
Monnlights via 2, 3 lamp 12v. blue led spotlights. Powered with a variable voltage DC powersupply. Controlled by 8 pin, 120v. relay. Coil is energized with the actinics.
Canopy fans are 3, 12v. PC fans controlled by the same relay as moonlights.
Both stand and canopy are prewired with 8 duplex receptacles on canopy and 2 duplex receps in stand.
2, 300 watt heaters.
With the Koralia's, and one of the heaters plugged into the canopy, feeding both these with 2 seperate gfis allows life support to continue if one should trip.
I believe he has about 80lbs of LR, 40lbs. of BR and a 4" aragonite SB. with eggcrate installed under the sand.
Fuge contains a 4" aragonite SB with cheato. About 20 gal. of fuge space.
Anything I missed?
