Should I go rimless?
Just wondering if I can take the rim off this tank?
DIY brace, somewhat loose. I can easily slide it up and down. There is enough pressure to keep the brace in place but if I apply any pressure on it it moves freely. DIY tank: 30 x 30 x 24 tall Glass 3/8" thick Silicone: GE Silicone type I Take the rim off or don't risk it? Last edited by seamonster124; 09/27/2015 at 06:37 PM. |

I think if it is that loose, it isn't helping anyways.

It's serving no purpose, take it off. Be careful leaning on the tank with no bracing though since the tank wasn't technically built to be rimless.
