Work has me away from home...but there was a harbor freight and a local petco close by! $10 tanks and $12 HF heat gun!

So whats the plan

I originally setup two 7.5 gallon acrylic cubes and a 25 gallon sump for a clown breeding station but realized my two bullet hole clowns did not pair up and my other snowflake/black ice pair are too juvenile...so I need a bigger "grow up" tank.

The trim is for a reason no? Im not sure I would trust that long term.

Yeah. But I like tinkering and I like cleanness. I've read people having success with de-rimming smaller tanks but failures or bowing on the larger ones like the 40b...

But I will more than likely brace it with acrylic for a clear brace instead of the black trim.

they will be fine.. the top is only there to hold glass lids... if it needed them for reinforcements, they would come with a brace in the center... also, they aren't even held together sometimes... very flimsy...

anyways... looks good... i might do that to a 20L i have outside.. that's if i don't score a 30g rimless from this one short black cute guy... LOL...
