Just wondering does anyone have a 55 gal. sump under a 125? I'm talking about a store bought stand, not a DIY'er. Is there room to work?

Yes, there is room in mine. This is exactly what I am about to do. I will be adding my 55 under this stand. I just measured my new one at the store the other day.

Congrats on the new purchase!
Got to ask, have you thought about how to get the sump in there? To me, does not look like enough room. Just a thought.

I have thought about it and I will have to remove a brace in the back or make another door on the end.

What all will you put in the sump? I will be getting a 125 myself and wondered what all goes in there. Excuse my ignorance as I currently have a 55 reef and run a cannister along bed filter and prizm skimmer.

I currently have 20 lbs. of live rock rubble, 20 lbs. of live sand, basket ball size wad of chaeto, heater and skimmer in my 29 gallon sump/refugium. When I place my 55 under the stand I will increase everything.
