Rimless Tanks

On my phone and app doesn't search so sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum elsewhere.

What are the pros and cons of rimless tanks?

I like the look a lot but was wondering what unforseen consequences might come in tow.
Seems most of them aren't covered. Won't fish jump out? Just wondering...

The rimless tanks look awesome, but you really need the space for a good sump so you dont have to hang a lot of stuff over the glass rim - it just looks bad

DIY cover suitable for rimless tanks too

Thanks Telgar. I really like the look of the set up in that link you posted.

depending on the size of the tank you would need to think about the display panel integrity as there is obviously no bracing for it on the rim.

 

Believe it or not, most braces on tanks are not used as support, but to hide uneven cuts on the upper section of the glass. Not saying that they dont provide any support. I however, do prefer to at least have a rim on the bottom of the tank.
