It seems like the outside dimensions of a 120gal tank and a 125gal tank are the same. Perhaps there is a difference internally. Perhaps the tanks are the same but by law they can only be filled to a certain level if they are within 10ft of a home.

I believe whoever installed those tanks (assuming the homeowner didn't bring them home in the back of his Mazda) would know and respect the local codes. But the OP has already been provided with a simple solution: contact the VPSD for their expert opinion.
