Rimless or Not?

[JurisHP]

Just wanted to get some opinions---I am trying to decide on a 180g rimless versus regular. Is it really just a matter of personal preference? I love the look of a rimless, but I am worried about jumpers AND less space to mount controllers on the side of a canopy, or placing stuff on top of the canopy.

Thoughts?

I love the look of a rimless tank also. I however switched from a rimless tank to a rimmed tank and like it for different reasons. You'll need a proper lid to help with jumpers. And if not done correctly with the right materials will make a rimless tank look like crap. To me its not worth the extra stress. Plus a rimmed / eurobraced tank will be inherently stronger than the same size rimless. They are also heavier tanks due to having to use thicker glass to support the water weight without bracing. You'll need to account for this when placing the tank in your house and hiring people to help you move it into place
