Derimming

[Brandon D.]

I got a free 55 gallon tank and the bottom rim was cracked so I resealed the top rim but does anybody know if it would be ok without the bottom rim??

I would buy a new rim for it.

Mmm it would probably always be at the back in my mind. One day you might put pressure on it doing a water change or something only to find 55gallons of water go everywhere.

Got a picture?

All rims are necessary for support on tank sizes greater than 10g. If you can't find a new rim, you can always DIY one using aluminum from a hardware store.

Ok thank you guys

That would make a great reptile tank, but I definitely wouldn't try to fill it with water.

Also what website can I order them from?

Glass cages .com sells them.
