That is a nice tank. For the record, I've seen some betta fins split in setups with no decor but if you're still worried, you could remove the decor

To be honest, the 'brace' on the bottom of mine wasn't exactly tightly secured. It came off very easily. I never even thought of it being tempered or not. I'm not experienced enough to advise you to take it off or not. If it was my tank, personally I would take the risk but that's just me. My tank is an Aquael PAP-60 Econoline, if that's any help??...
I'm thinking I might sand them down some paint them and dip them in a clear enamel so there not sharp.
if you clear coat them, you won't need to sand it. i really like the look of your tank let me know if it holds
I don't know about that!!!. I hate the black silicone. It's very bare at the moment, waiting for my plants to arrive....It looks to be a better quality than mine.
Update well my Betta died poor guy so I went and got 3 glofish tetras 2 red eye tetras and a dwarf Mexican cray. I also threw some plants in there and I am trying to breed pink pearl ramshorns.
I used a razor knife to losten the silicone from it then on the outside I cut the 4 corners vertically then I cut the 4 outer pieces off horizontally and the inner part came right out in one piece then I used a straight razor blade to scrape all the excess silicone off and used a little laquer thinner on a rag to get the residue off and then cleaned it again with vinegar and water and rinsed the crap out of it.
are you going to put any plants in?
Be careful. I know the rim feels flimsy like it doesn't do anything, but the glass is not designed to have 0 support in a fully filled tank. You can get away with it with paludariums or shallow tanks. I know multiple people who have come home to a busted tank and dead fish after doing this... Sometimes in a day sometimes in 3 or more months. You may wish to buy clear corner braces for the top corners. I know the rimless look awesome and it's a lot cheaper to do it yourself rather than buy one but be warned
