So, I saw a decent deal on craigslist for a 125 gal, 72x18x24. It's deeper than my 75's, so, harder to clean, right?, but I like the display tank aspect. Any problems? Thanks.

Should be no problem, Steve. I'd go for that size of tank for discus anytime.

Thanks Paul, still a bit wishful thinking, but I'm considering options for doing some rearranging.

Go for it, that's the size tank I have and no problem of cleaning inside glass(bare bottom).

I can reach the bottom of my 135 gallon tank to scrub out the bottom and walls with no problem. The fish will do fine, but you should think through your W/C regime. Do you have enough conditioned water to make 100% W/C's? If not, I think larger water changes are more important than larger tanks.

Bought myself a nice step ladder and I get right in there to do maintenance, but come to think about it my tank & stand are kind of tall. They 125 sounds like a great tank not too small not too big.
