I have been looking all over the net to try and find if anyone has turned a regular tank into a rimless. Well just the top rim anyway. I have several 20g high tanks and I am going to take the upper rim off very carefully. What do ya guys think? I dont think it would hurt the structural integrity to much. Or do you think other wise??

Thank you . That was what I was thinking, I would have to do .

I asked my statics professor today after class and the actual pressure at the top of the tank is not relevant to the mid to lower part of the tank. Meaning that the weight of the water at the top of the tank is nowhere near the pressure at the bottom of the tank. Therefore if I did take the lower rim off the tank I could run into structural integrity problems.

Hey Longbow do you by chance have any pictures of this tank ??

Man taking the rim off does look better. Well looks like I will be taking the bottom off too lol.
