Let me see 125 stony reefs

I wish I would have gone with the 180. I'm even more limited since this tank is a room divider.

Also, lighting and skimmer costs should be about the same. Lighting should be exactly the same, in fact a lot of light spills out of my 125 because of the 18" width.
You might need a larger skimmer, but it won't be a major upgrade over what you would need for a 125.
Actually, I'm guessing the biggest difference in cost would be the additional live rock needed. Also, additional circulation needed for a 180 may be a significant cost.

Ireef69 has a 125 that has two islands on the ends. It makes the tank look 8 feet long

Well, I decided to play with the rocks and went with 3 islands now..I had flow problems with the 2 islands, so now it looks like this..very crappy picture..(im thinking of buying a Rebel XT).
