    I personally like the footprint of the 120, but the 125 has more surface area. 9 square feet vs 8 square feet on the 120. The 125 also has a longer run for nonstop swimming. You can still do your palidarium since the height is the same.
    If you are interested in adult frogs I will keep my eyes open. I just passed on several. I will be in you general area in July for a couple of days.

    That's awesome man let me know.

    I agree about the 125 gallon having a bit more swimming room (though the depth on the 120g is nice). If you watch these frogs closely (mine are in my living room so I see a lot of them!) they absolutely do dart around the tank randomly at lightning speed. My frogs also like to jump for food.. I have to admit they get excited for food and I've seen them do a vertical jump right into the glass lid (no damage luckily), some times they lunge at me when I have the lid open when I am doing feedings or water changes and almost jump out of the tank. They get a little too excited about food.......... Having more space to go full throttle would be nice.

    Another reason I do like the 120 gallon though is it's a little easier to fit in my home. I rent a townhouse and I have..... too much stuff.

    The 125 has an extra square foot of surface area; but when it comes to decorating it, the 120 will beat it hands down. That extra 6 in. front to back provides greater sense of depth and also allow you to freely decorate tank without your dry area creeping frontwards. If buying used, try and find the tank date of manufacture sticker (ussually attached to bottom). Would stay away from anything older than 10 years or any tanks where silicon appears damaged, dry, brittle or harder than in a new one. Tanks can be resealed; but it's a time consuming job. You would have to completely remove all the old silicone before resealing and dealing with bad fumes. Good luck!
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
