I would like to buy my dad a 3gallon picotope tank for christmas. He wasn't really into reefing when I started, but now that I really got the tank going he's gaining more and more interest.
I'm looking at two tanks with dramatically different price tags.
Of course, part of the gift is maintenance. He gets to enjoy it at his desk, while I take care of everything else.
Cheap one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3730+15493&pcatid=15493
Very expensive one:

Looks like the pricey one has higher output bulbs and better filtration. But I'm thinking I can go with the cheaper one and just upgrade these parts and still cut some red tape.
