    So I decided to take time from clearing things out and work on the tops for the rimless tanks. Just the home made lids would work great but I'm a klutz so I used a plastic brace to keep anything from cracking the tank.


    The whole rack. I'm still working on the other lids.

    Cleared this wall out. It had cabinets running the whole length.

    They do look alot better. Now i know what I need when I build my own 18"x18"x18" rimless tank out of 1/4" thick pre-cut class.

    BTW.. is the tube going into the tank for sucking out water and waste? I like the idea... Assuming it's hook up to a pump right?
