its nice tank, but if i was you i would go for a longer tank because it gives more swimming room. that tank may be 125 gallons, but it isnt long enough imo for tangs or bigger fish. if you plan on doing just a reef with smaller fish, then i would say go for it, but if your looking to keep fish like tangs, butterflies, and fish that need a lot of swimming room in general, i would keep looking for something around the 6 foot length mark.
