One of my LFS's display rimless blew out over night. Lost most everything . I'm all for the support.

Even the slightest work in the tank on my rimless cube causes water to slosh out of the tank. I hate it, and will never own another rimless tank. Just cleaning algae becomes a surgical chore...
I have never had a rimless tank and do see many of our experienced friends have mixed views. I think its a matter of taste, practicality, and functionality. True appearance appears that a RIMLESS makes sense, but those who replace water, have marine life that climbs, jumps, and of course do not suspend their lights a braced tank makes more sense. Good question and good responses.
Have you tried turning off the return pump and lowering the water level before cleaning your rimless?I never had issues with water spilling over the sides while cleaning algae,etc.heck I used to use my magnet algae cleaner with all pumps running including a wavebox and didn't spill water.you just have to be slow cleaning near the top.JMO
I love the look of rimless and I find it super amusing to wake up and follow the snail trails to rescue the dummies lol
Funny you say that. I actually found bristle worms dried up around my cube (TWICE!). Did they throw themselves out? Did the clownfish spit them out? No clue, but now I've seen it all. No more rimless tanks for me.
For many years I have only had rimless tanks and love the look. The first rimless tank i had 10 years ago I made the mistake of having the water level 3/4-1'' from the top and yes i had to be careful when cleaning the front panel like many have stated and having the water slosh out. Its was a pain! When i upgraded i made sure the water level was 1'' 1/2 from the top and never had an issue after that. When I had my 366 gal AGE rimless tank i had a custom overflow and could adjust the water level height by where i made the holes on the overflow. I had a 2'' on that tank and still looked good to me. I know the higher the cleaner it looks but i was ok with it. I never had an issue, even when it went through a couple earthquakes here in Cali. Here is a pix of the 366 gal with the water level 2''. I love rimless tanks!
