macdaddy36 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Are there any issues with putting a wood canopy on a rimless tank from a structural support point? For reference the tank is a 25 gallon rimless cube and the canopy weighs about 10 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyxxl Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 No problem than on a rimmed tank. I assume you are just dressing up the tank top to hide the cover and light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, will cover the lid, lights, filter tubes, cords and water line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would seal the wood with something like polyurethane to keep it from warping being that close to the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
