Rimless tank ideas...

[tdp22]

So I am finally a home owner and have a great spot for a LARGE tank. I am thinking shallow rimless because I love the top down views. The tank would be a room divider and visible from the two long panels. Could a 86x21x16 work? Any suggestions on a manufacturer?

IMO I think a rimless shallow tank should be wider in order for it to look good!! Can you go wider??

Maybe check out my build thread for ideas...

I wouldnt go less than 30" wide, 36" would even be preferred. I was looking at a 72x36x17" leemarr, and it was only about $1k without starphire, but with eurobracing.

Wider the better for sure.

I agree

My tank at 30" is not even wide enough. I would go 36" for sure. Especially if its that shallow.

tdp, you may have a hard time finding a larger tank in rimless as it is. you might have to go to the big boys like AGE for the tank. If thats the case, you might as well not skimp on the size.

Thanks for the input. I wanted to use it as a room divider and the space is only about 24in. wide. Guess shallow rimless is maybe not in the cards. Anyway just moved my 75 this weekend PIA. Looks great though!!

What's another 6"... or 12"?

... maybe a little less room to walk, who needs that!
