    Hey all, I have a new build coming up, to upgrade my current 15 gallon nano, to a 37 gallon custom cube tank. My question is, Should I go rimless?

    The glass is 3/8" shatter proof glass, so its about twice as thick as it needs to be for this tank, but I figured I might as well get the thicker glass. now I have the option of doing rimless or eurobraced, but I would like to have a lid still. I dont want to do glass euro bracing to have a lid, I am thinking those little acrylic clips would work to hold some type of lid in there. anyways I'm getting off topic, As said, would 3/8" (9.5mm) be thick enough for 37 gallons of cubed tank? lol I am thinking yes but though I'd put it out there for some debate
