Removing the bottom trim off Fluval Uno tank?

[Danny]

Hello guys,

First question for you, have any of you removed the bottom plastic trim from any Fluval Uno tank? I have an old 600 that I will be setting up as a Shrimp tank and wanting to remove the skirt.

I do not think it does much to stop the tank exploding but after a second opinion

Here it is all cleaned up ready to go sitting on some foam, as long as it is ok without the skirt lol

Cheers

HI Danny
If its just a flimsy plastic trim you have taken off it should be okay.

It is yeah, I figured it is more of a decorative thing than useful but only 99.9% sure lol Either way it was ugly as was the hood lol

I didn't have the sack to remove the bottom trim off my 12gal.

It's not a Fluval though, no idea what it is.

LOL, I have approx 10kg of rock in it and 3/4 full of water so will give it 24hrs and see what happens. All fine so far
