RP Beesh Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 have the idea about 5 month ago but never got the time to do it here is what i have done so fair. first one to remove the trim from a nanocube 12? before taking the trim off with a utility blade and mini hand saw. aftermath equipment: VorTech MP10 (going to try this out. ) AquaC Remora Protein Skimmer with Maxi-Jet 1200 Pump 50 watt heater. ato. next diy project: fish stand led lighting and maybe a protein skimmer. .

acropora1981 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 That turned out extremely well. Link to comment
Crackerballer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 That turned out extremely well. I was thinking the same thing. Those are some clean edges under the trim. Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 yes they the edges are very very clean wonder why they did, it since it was going to be cover. its bevel on both side Link to comment
Gaffer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 yes they the edges are very very clean wonder why they did, it since it was going to be cover. its bevel on both side Interesting, I bought a used one of these the other day from LFS. I may have to do that and just get rid of the top all together since the light are shot. I will be following closely. andrew Link to comment
acropora1981 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I was thinking the same thing. Those are some clean edges under the trim. haha exactly! I would have expected it to be kinda ugly underneath. Looks like it was made to be rimless and then had trim added later on. Link to comment
Crackerballer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yea if I still had my BC I would be doing the trim removal TONIGHT. 1981 you are right, maybe they planned for it that way but obviously the hood system needs the trim. Very cool either way. Link to comment
urbaneks Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Turned out great. Have you considered cutting off the trim on the bottom? Link to comment
jokercykoe Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Awesome work. I might just have to do this to my old nc12. It's just sitting there half full of water and rock covered in caulerpa This could def breathe some new life into that tank! Thanks for the inspiration. Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Turned out great. Have you considered cutting off the trim on the bottom? i won't do it. it have black silicon so it won't look right. i'm planning to build the stand to cover the bottom trim. Link to comment
demaria36 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Oooh, I like! Anyone think this could work with an Aquapod 12g? And if so, the 70w sunpod should still sit okay right? Link to comment
polarblair2000 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Looks nice I was planning on doing the same with my Juwel Lido 120. I love the look of rimless tanks. But I tried to pull my trim of but it was siliconed in on the corners. Looks like the hand saw will have to come out Thanks for the idea Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Oooh, I like! Anyone think this could work with an Aquapod 12g? And if so, the 70w sunpod should still sit okay right? have no idea on that. i tried this with own my own risk and wasn't sure the outcome i might have been the first one to try it on a nanocube 12. lucky the edge was bevel.
