WTB 125 or 180G Reef Ready Tank

Hi, guys! Since I'm going to build my reef tank in to the wall I desided to upgrade my 72G bowfront to 125 or 180. I'm going to put a sump in the garage, about 14' below the tank. I'm looking to buy 6' long reef ready tank.

i would look for a 125, not a 150. the only difference is height. for a reef tank you are going to want to be able to easily touch the bottom. you are going to be thankful for the shallower tank. also, you can get away with less powerful lighting with 5" less water to penetrate.

Good point, but on the other hand it's easier to change water in a deep tank, corals stay in water.
