there's been some talk about this around here, does anyone have a step by step tutorial on this?
Thanks, that's good info.For one of the club meetings I took off the rim of a tank, and we made a presentation. Go here and download the "how to remove rim..." pdf
I'd like to take the center support out of my 46g bowfront as well... I have to assume that it is of NO support value, because it does have quite a bit of flex in it. Not sure about the rim, but I'd guess that the same is true as with the other tanks...Doesn't anyone know if you can remove the rim and center support on a 46g bowfront without sacrificing any structural integrity?
I assume you removed the rim as well? The next poster beat me to my next question. Has anyone done this with the tank already in use?I have removed the center brace from my 36 bow front with out any negative side effects, and I believe you can do it with a 46 gal as well.
I left the rim on, and took the center brace off with the tank full of water. I used sharp razor blades to saw through the plastic.I assume you removed the rim as well? The next poster beat me to my next question. Has anyone done this with the tank already in use?
