You mean a braceless acrylic? I'm not sure how feasible that would be but I'm no expert. I understand that acrylic tanks require extensive top bracing due to the fact that acrylic is much more flexible than glass is and thre would be a lot of bowing without it. It would be neat if it were possible though.

I've been talking to socalcreations, and they seem to be ok with making me a rimless tank. The tank isn't going to be that big (tall), which may be the trick.
I don't know, braceless may be a better word =) |

I thought that he had eurobracing on that tank but I could be mistaken.
