I've recently come across a 90 gallon tank. It's great, but it has that ugly wood trim.
I'm wondering, has anyone ever taken the frame off a standard tank to convert it into a rimless? Please keep reading, I posted this on reefcentral and people seem to stop reading here and reply "no you can't" with capitals or punctuation.
I imagine it wouldn't be quite that easy, and a little bracing additions would be in order.
Has any one ever stripped the silicone off a standard tank and rebuilt it into a rimless using the presized panes from the standard?
I'm no structural engineer, but I've built a 15 gallon, and have read a bit about building larger tanks (building a jig, buffing out microcracks, bracing)
Thanks for any help!
