wow - that's a pretty kickass xmas gift! I think anything in the 75-125g range is perfect for a starter tank - big enough that you can do a lot with it, small enough so it doesn't take a second

to run.

just make sure he's prepared to spend the other couple grand to set up the tank. sure, the tank may be a nice present, but if he can't use it or isn't ready to invest the time and money into a saltwater tank, you're doing him no favors.

i agree 100% with renogaw. if its something he likes and he will be into it, AND has the cash flow to set it up, then great. otherwise, its almost worthless present. unless you are getting him the whole starter package, basically all o rmost of the equipment he will need to start it up. The Tank is just one (cheap) part of the whole operation.
