    Ok, so I'm kicking the idea around about changing tanks. Not really upgrading but going with a little different look. I have a standard 10 gallon up and running but I just recently ran across the Mr. Aqua brand of tanks. I'm considering switching out the 10g for a Mr. A 11.4 (19x12x12). I've never had a rimless tank. I like the sleek look but are there any pro/cons to having a rimless? Is anyone familiar with the brand?

    Any and all input is welcome.

    The only issues I've hear of with rimless is sloshing water around,

    Do it do it do it. I think these tanks look awesome. 8) Any particular reason you wat a new tank or are you just getting board with the current setup?

    Rimless are a little tougher to keep clean, but look awesome when you do it. It's not a big deal and well worth the little bit of trouble imo. On smaller tanks like that rimless are nearly as strong as plastic rimmed tanks.

    Thanks for the replies. The only reason I'm considering it is because I want a more polished clean looking system. Plus it's not an overly expensive transition.


    Actually I'll let you all in a little secret....
