My Stepmom and I drove to San Marcos yesterday morning to pick up my dads Christmas present. Subsailor posted a 225g Oceanic with stand and sump for $400. You cant beat that with a stick. I jumped on it to buy as a gift for my Dad. He got me started in the fish keeping hobby when I was a small boy and hes always has a passion so I figured what better gift. Plus he never had anything bigger than a 100g. The tank needed a major cleaning and the stand had a lot of salt build up and water ware. After hours of scrubbing, scrapping, sanding and painting this is what he gets. The stand was a wood stain and I painted it black after sanding. The wood colored tank trim you still see will be covered by black trim. Hes a freshwater man but I might be able to sway him over to salt..
