Hey i'm thinking about possibly upgrading my deep blue rimless 30g, or possibly adding an additional tank. The next/new tank would be a deep blue 80g, which is 48"24"x16". My main concern is how long will the rimless version of this tank hold with all that constant pressure from water circulation? Is this something to be concerned about? Can silicone seams alone hold a 4 foot tank?
Rimless?

They seem to be holding up well so far. I have not heard any horror stories yet..
The glass on these rimless tanks is pretty thick in comparison to the deep blue rimmed tanks.. Also silicone is really strong. try tearing a tank apart witout cutting the slicone. its nearly impossible without breaking the glass.. I know this because as a kid I would destroy anything lying around.. LOL

I think its pretty safe. they really load the rimless tanks with silicone. Deep blue is one of the largest tank distributors so if there was an issue with one of their most popular tanks it would have been known by now. On the other hand, I wouldnt go creating a 3 inch wave in the tank lol

I am looking for the same. I actually ordered my tank reef ready with plumbing yesterday should arrive Friday, then I'm going to working on making it as state of the art as possible.

Tropaquarium in NJ sells their tanks for wholesale. They sell tanks cheaper then my LFS can even get them for.
You're close to Tropical Island Aquarium in Deer Park. It's on rte 231. Excellent store. Ask mike for a price. You can also see the tank in person because one of his display tanks is a 57 rimless.
I don't recommend the Deep Blue stands though.
Are you having problems or I'd you mean you're not having problems? :scratch:
Have you had or heard any horror stories on these? I have one with my 57 gallon setup for about 2 years and now you have me worried!
