You should do some research on lighting before investing in any corals. Depending on the lighting and room temperature, you may or may not need a chiller. Water changes in a 125 will wipe out your budget if you buy bottled water from a store. Get the RO/DI everyone is talking about. I thought you needed somethinhg like that for cichlids as well.

Are you adding salt well ahead of time and letting it aerate?
