braced vs rimless
The oldest style of aquariums, braced aquariums have the little plastic shell on the top and usually the bottom portion of the aquarium. While being an eye store the plastic strip can offer a few benefits. The largest is hiding the water line. As we noted above rimless aquariums show the water line. If you are not the best with routine aquarium maintenance this will be an eye sore. Not so with a braced aquarium. The water line will be completely hidden from view. On top of that you will be able to have a larger tank as the braced aquariums can support larger weight loads of water. Generally tanks past 300 gallons will use the plastic brace method. If having a hood or lid to your aquarium is a must then braced aquariums should be your choice
What is the benefit to a rimless aquarium? They use thick glass and silicone to support the weight and the aesthetic appeal is undeniable—it just looks amazing. Most rimless aquariums are made from higher purity glass that is clearer. The glass uses low iron and is free of the green hue which can be an eye sore in regular glass.
Rimless aquariums are a top choice for nano reef tanks. You need every bit of viewing space possible from a small aquarium.
