Making tank rimless?

[Lyferxb9s]

Picked up a old all-glass 4ft 150. 1/2" glass. 48x24x31 and the trim is broken both top and bottom. I was going to modify the stand trim to snuggly hold the bottom and euro brace the top. Just looking for input and advice before going through with the project

Id brace the bottom with a couple pieces of glass from front to back also, along both left and right.

Any other input?

Euro around the top will be fine.
If you don’t want to do full euro you could just do three pieces on top front to back. Left, right and center.
For the bottom you can do internal but that would require a re-seal to do properly.
You could add some external glass at the bottom on the sides front to back and even down the sides.
I’ve repaired several tanks for a LFS this way.
It’s not the best looking but it does work well.
I’ve also set up tanks with no frame on the bottom without any extra bracing.
Either way without a bottom frame you need to make sure the tank is leveled properly and put at least 1/2 inch foam underneath
It also needs to be fully supported.
A stand made for a framed tank will not work.

No need for bracing on the bottom if it was only an plastictrim around the tank before. Eurobracing on top is fully okey to go with.

Ive got tanks thats 150x60x60cm built in 10mm glass with only bracing on the long panels on top then one centerbrace.
