Rimless BC29 Questions

[TheKMFB]

Has anyone gone rimless on the Bio Cube 29 and had any issues? I just want to make sure I don't come home to a mess and insurance claim one day if I decide to take the top rim off of my Bio Cube. TIA

I've done it. It's a bit of a pain, but not hard to do. Take your time and you'll be fine.

Yea, I got it done over the weekend. Notice there are some flaws in the glass at the corners. Almost looks like fisheyes in paint. But still a better overall look, and doubt they will be that noticeable once filled.

Following. I have my biocube 29 with the hood still but looking to go rimless and use an AI prime HD in the future. Just have heard horror stories

It wasn't bad to do. My oceanic bio cube did not have nearly as much silicone as what I have seen other have. I took a small hack saw blade and made my cuts at the back chamber. Then a sharp razor on inside/outside of the trim all the way around. Took some high test strength fishing line and got it under the trim all the way and just used a sawing motion with the string all the way around the trim and it came off in one piece.  I went through a few razors getting all the silicone off of the glass, but it came out good

I just made mine rimless too. I used a Dremel to cut the back and the corners, then I just lifted up the rim, came right off. The biocube I have is the old oceanic so it was easier to take it off. I then used razor blades to remove the excess silicone, then any remaining silicone left, I had a buffer attachment on my Dremel that cleaned it right up.
