Woke up this morning to see visible signs of distress in my tank, the seem along the front is showing bubbles in the in the silicone and there is salt creep building up along the bottow right corner. I have the tank supported for the time being but I need to find a replacement in the next few days to make sure my newly set-up tank doesn't fall apart just as quickly.

So ya I need to find a cheap 33g drilled tank similar to this one, Money is pretty tight right now so I'll tolerate a scratch if I need to to save my system...

It would be better if it was drilled on the left instead of the right but either works, thank you to anyone who responds. I lack transport of any sort ( I'm a city boy without a car ) but will arrange any means I can to get to the tank or compensate for someone who can deliver, either through some sweet deals tattoo wise or some original artwork.

Heres the culprit tank:

Different drilled styles are an option just wanna make the transition smooth as possible

Also just to state it doesnt necessarily have to be 33 exactly, I will go slightly larger but can go no longer length wise then 40 inches

I have a 30 gal cube for sale

Problem with a cube is my lighting will no longer work, would really prefer to get a standard 36inch long tank.

Well that or up to 40 inchs long, but if it comes down to it I'll consider that or go find a new one online somewhere

What kind of stand was this tank on. If it is not solid enough, I hate to see your new tank do the same thing.

The stand is a long well supported display so that isn't the issue I don't think.
The aquarium itself had been running for years before I got it and I think after emptying/moving/cleaning and re-setting up it just took some beating.

ha! ya my beat up old neon cons...

I have a few leads I'm following up on now, night go a bit bigger tank wise and modify my set-up a bit to make it work. I'll keep that one in mind though for sure
