Euro cause its way easier to clean and rimless sloshes on me all the time. Plus I always worry about structure and I feel safer going euro. But I know how much you like stiking your hands into rims.

I love the look of rimless but I went with a eurobrace because of the water splash and the ease of putting a cover on to prevent fish from jumping.

Eurobrace because it becomes a fragging station lol

Also the rimless spills water over the side every time you stick your hand in

euro is way more user friendly, the recessed euro with black silicone is nice too.

the rimless aesthetics are off the hook.. so fresh so clean
and you can do wavebox with lower overflow/water line
what ever you go with, just definately go- no canopy and hang the light from the ceiling.. and you will be good;)

It don't matter to me, i like high stands. I'm a canopy guy for life, only losers get the over spill of light in the eye.

I like the way a rimless looks though, but it would be more for a place I'm not always at like a hallway.

Doesen't it also depend of size of tank. I have a 170 and lee mar recommended euro brace, which I prefer anyways. In earthquake country its a lot safer and cleaner IMO

I had a rimless leemar loved the look, but hated cleaning it water would go everywhere even moving slow. So that led me to not keeping as clean I would like. So I'll never have another rimless, my new leemar I just got is a eurobrace and recessed just enough so the screen top sits flush with the glass.

if there was an earthquake the tank would be my least concern but yes it is one thing to think about
