    my 135, is 6 feet, by 18 inches wide and 24 inches tall, and it looks HUGE compared to my 55, gallon so its probably that.

    CONGRATS CUTTIN! That is awesome, here in a couple years when i get the hang of the 55 I am wanting to upgrade to a 125, I guess if I found a deal like that I would have to settle for a 135! Lots of hard work ahead but it is obvious that you are just like the rest of us... it's not work! Congrats again, get some pics going (I'm Luna's deputy:)!)

    Good find Linda!
    The 125 I looked at a couple weeks ago was old, not drilled, broken plastics, had used kittly litter in one corner (not crushed coral as advertised), and was chipped and scratched all over the place, and the silicone was blue from copper use.
    I ran out of there so fast.
    Before you order or buy new bulbs for that current orbit light, check that the ballasts are good. No point in buying bulbs with a bad ballast. I did some research, and they are known to fail after one year of use.

    Thanks everyone! I feel like I won the lottery! I figure the lights have never been used. There is absolutely no salt on the anywhere. I think all the previous owner did was put sand and water in. There is a wet/dry filter(I think that's what it is. It's all in one, filters, in trays, going to a big bio wheel, to the refugium to a huge blue pump! :eek: I think I'm gonna cry! My sons works with a guy who lives down the street and the guy is always at the house. He loves the fish tank and really catches on quick. he's always had snakes and lizards. He's got a monitor right now. So, with ya'lls help, I want to train him for when I'm on the road. He said he'd love to and won't charge me for the sitting servicee. The GODS are a smilin!;Dk
