Does anyone here have expierence w/ Rimless tanks?
I was looking into buying one form Glasscages.com and was looking for some input on how Durable and safe those tanks are.
Assuming you have a well built, perfectly level stand, as long as you have the required thickness, and good quality silicone (GE RTV108 or GE Series 1200 or equivalent), it'll be fine.
I have a calculator I coded to calculate the glass thickness so that the tank meet a recommended safety level.
This calculator will calculates:
1. Minimum glass thickness/deflection for a desire safety factor
2. The safety factor and deflection given a glass thickness
Just unzip and double click on the "AquaCalc.jar" file.
It's Java based so you want to download java also if you don't have already.
Get java here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
download the "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 3".
