Months ago I answered a CL ad for a 33 hex. It came with a wooden stand and previously housed a turtle. Woman was asking $95.00. Knowing I'd want to reseal the tank, I offered $25 which she accepted. I did the whole silicone scrape-off, reseal and spray painted the back with Krylon "True Blue". (a color which was recommended by a forum member here...so thank you!) I added in some pool filter sand which I'm loving as a substrate and was finally able to add in 3 small tiger barbs to start. The goal is to keep this an all tiger barb tank housing about 8-10 of them. So far so good!
