Is that on the stand?

No it's inside the tank, the bottom where sand would go

That's a first for me! A painted coating on the inside of the tank. I would think the only thing that would hold up and not cause leaching into the tank would be an epoxy coating/paint. Is there any way you can contact the person who had it before you?

They moved to Louisiana, they didn't wanna take it with them...

Looks like a marine epoxy paint to me. We had a minnow tank at our store at one time and had to paint the inside with marine epoxy paint and it looked just like this. Not sure why they would put that inside though?
