I have had both.
Rimless looks killer but splashes drive you crazy after a while. Eurobraced is my preferred option now. What size tank will it be? Rimless on larger tanks gets expensive because of the thicker material required. |

72"x24"x20", don't want to go too high.

I was just in the market for a new tank and was torn between a CadLight Artisan 125 and a Red Sea Reefer 110g. I considered the euro bracing on the CadLight as one of the key points against it vs the rimless Red Sea. But for a variety of reasons I picked the CadLight in spite of the euro brace.
Now I've had it up and running for 2 months and I'm so glad I picked it. The euro brace hardly affects the look of the tank, it rarely gets in the way and it gives me a flat surface to set things when I'm working in the tank (small frag cups, food, tools, etc).
