What kind of corals are you keeping?

What skimmer do you have? May need a bigger one since you're doubling (maybe tripling if you add a sump) your water volume.
You will need more flow.
the 125 is deeper than the 55g so you may need to upgrade your lights both in length and in intensity to get the same penetration.

Calcium reactors are for people that are using more than they are replacing with dosing and water changes. You would have to test your water to see if you need one. On the other hand, it won't hurt to add it.

depth of tanks are the same both 24 inches deep

on the coral sps lps and softeis some fish and some inverts light are 250 watt mh 10000k they light the tank awsome

If you're going to keep a tank full of sps and lps, then I would add the reactor. It will make your life alittle easier. That means you're going to have to add a sump. Might have to upgrade your skimmer. Make sure you have enough flow. Lights are good.

Good luck on the new project

Your sump only has to be as large as serves your pupose. If you just want a place to put your equipment, then it only has to be large enough to hold yer stuff. On the other hand if you want a frag section and a refugium ect ect ect then its gonna be huge
