God help me- sump or wet/dry?

I just bought an all glass aqarium (125) w/2 overflow units built in and am feeling like i got in over my head. I desperately need to know if the Rapids Pro 4 wet&dry filter w/ auto fill system for $300 is a good deal or an oceanic sump? any advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: God help me

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to Reefland!!!

My advice is to sit back, read and learn all you can for a bit. I know the temptation to put water in in the tank and get it going is very strong, but believe me, you can save a lot of money and headaches by going slow and learning. As for the sump, you can build your own for next to nothing. Just buy a small tank used or new and get a couple pieces of glass from Lowes (they will cut it to size) and you are set. Spending $300 for sump is just way too much. Spend that money and get a nice skimmer for the tank. There are also lights and so forth and that is where the money needs to be spent.
