See the sticky right above and have a good read. Lots of info in there and then I would atrat asking specific questions. Welcome to reefing!

W/ a 125 you'll def need one (better to have two) overflows drilled into the tank. You can do it really cheaply with used external overflow boxes to get water to the filtration sump below. You'll need two pumps then to return filterer water to display tank.

As mentioned below, check the Sticky's for more detailed threads.

Cost is all dependent on what livestock and end goal you have.

We sold a bunch of equipment on e-bay and craigs list. Good place to look when you decide on what you want. Being low on funds in the Hobby can be a problem. Fish only in this Hobby is what I would do if I got back in. Much easier on the wallet and fish are more fun.
