I agree you will have some more cost to put together, but once going the larger tank is no harder nore expensive to keep running. with the extra space you will have more room for fish and coral.

Thanks guys.

i am looking to build up the tank over time (of course) so cost is not a huge factor... one think the 210 gallon comes with is an over flow and sump while the 125 does not

I'd say get the wider of the two. I've always wished I had the 24" of tank width to work with.

You'll definitely want an overflow (drilled preferably) and sump. So much easier to deal with all the extraneous bits and pieces (heater, skimmer etc).
