You can move animals from one tank to the other with very high odds of success, if both tanks are set up and have live rock cured, etc. What is your exact situation?

So you're moving from animals and live rock from the 30 and the 55 into the 125? Is the 125 set up and running?

You should be able to move the contents of an existing, stable tank into a larger tank if you're careful. One risk is that exposing live rock to air can kill sponges, etc, and that can have consequences. In general, though, as long as you're not using uncured live rock, you should be okay if you're careful.
