I suppose since this thread popped up at an opportune time I'll comment on my recent tank.
So as my Valentines present from James he helped me set up my fish tank which is now the proud holder of three Florida Blue crayfish.
I'll toss some pictures on as well, though they're not the clearest.
The tank is a 45g Hexagon made by Oceanic with a stand. I got the entire thing for $60. The stand was in pretty awful shape when I bought it, but I sanded it down and stained it, then varnished it and it looks better than new. It's amazing what some stain can do to some mediocre pieces. And how it can sometimes ruin really beautiful pieces. Anyway, I love how it turned out, couldn't be more thrilled.
It was the best deal of a lifetime for a hexagon fish tank. I would have bought the other one from him and cleaned it up and sold it but I didn't have the cash. We did have to reseal the inside, but with vinegar, painters tape and razor blades that wasn't too much work.

I also have 7 bleeding heart tetras in it. Planning to add more, I believe it's full cycled by now but it's typically better to wait after a while. The crayfish look really neat, they add a lot of fun to the tank. Also we had a piece of driftwood that decided to float after the tank was finally set up. It has been sitting in the bathtub for the past 3 days, only some people would be so lucky.
