nano tank

I just traded a 12 gallon nano for some frags and my question is can can i run the tank without the plastic rim that is on the top of the tank ? it looks realy nice without the top off and i was just wondering if anyone has done it?

 

I would guess that you can take the plastic off without worrying about a flood. My cube is rimless and I have seen plenty of conventional 10 gallons without rims. The silicone should be more than enough to hold everything together.

Any pics?

 

Oh, there is a possibility that the glass is uneven under the plastic. It is cheaper to cover up a sloppy cutting job with plastic trim than it is to put everything together flush.

 

yea i think is should be fine because i filled it with water the other day and the weight of the water didnt put any pressure on the rim when i tryed to lift it. and it felt realy sturdy.

 

Have you settled on a light yet?

 

no i am still kinda shoping around why u have any suggestions?

 

just pm you
