Whats your budget and tank size?

+1, these are the determining factors.

There is a sponsor on marshreef that might be able to make one for you.

I have a 5ft glass cages tank....its built like a tank. Its not the rimless version but Ive had no problems so far.

I have seen several glasscages.com tanks and I dont think their quality is "low".

I had an old twenty gallon that I tore off the rims, so now it is a rimless. Looks great and was way cheaper than buying an ADA tank.

weer looking for 100 gallon+ tank with stand and canopy my parents dont want to spend over $800.

I am just suggesting you buy a cheap tank with rims (100gallons +) and take the rims off yourself. It didn't take me more than 30 minutes for the 20, the 100 gallon would take awhile.

i could do that but isnt there a chance that it messes up the tank...

I wouldn't take the rim off that size of a tank.....

If you want a sand and canopy....why do you want it to be rimless?

The stand and canopy would cover the rim.

it ook the trim off of my 6 foot 125g, no problems at all, its been like that for over a month now.
looks awesome and took maybe an hour.

[TaTeR ToT]

same with my 4 foot 75g, no trim, that one took like 45 minutes.

however, both of these tanks have thick glass middle braces, so they provide 99.9999% of the strength, wereas the trim on those was simply asthetics.

now if you go buy an all glass aquarium with the plastic middlew brace built into the trim of the tank and remove it, then your asking for trouble.
