Tank rim
I'm working on a 75gal rimless tank. The problem is that the lid doesn't fit. I'm trying to attach a strip of foam to the outside edge to fill in the space bit it's difficult to know exactly how thick I need it. Any suggestions to fix this other than the foam?

Re: Tank rim
You could just order a trim. I have seen some I don’t know how expensive they are but it would be much easier and more efficient. If you don’t want to order then I am not an expert on that type of stuff I am sure other people would know a lot more about that. .^)

Re: Tank rim
If was purchased as a rimless, there are glass lid kits that come with clips.

Re: Tank rim
It was purchased used. But wouldn't the clip need something to clip onto? The top of the lid to the tank?

Re: Tank rim
The clips go over the glass and create a shelf for the lid. https://www.marinedepot.com/innovative- ... WjEALw_wcB

Re: Tank rim
Cpuld also do a eurobrace, where you silicone a glass strip along the inside perimeter. But then its not really rimless after that.
