lenver Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have a cube it's I believe 18"x18", and I'm looking for material to give it a trim on top since it's rimless but it has chips on the top, I'm looking for something that's no bigger than half an inch and with a "C" clamp profile, kinda of what the plastic slide bar for reports look like, but of course those are only standard size, so it's missing about 6". Any ideas? http://www.amazon.com/C-Line-Binding-60-Sheet-Capacity-34221/dp/B009ZMPRN4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonghornReefer Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm in the process of putting some new trim on my 125g. I am using white plastic shelf trim. I spray painted the trim black to match my existing top trim. Here's a cool DIY video I followed: Hope this helps!! Have a great day! -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'd suggest using some U channel, all you need to know is the glass thickness and edge length. Measure, cut, and press on. No need for silicone or glue.Here's an example of the stuff I'm talking about, you can likely find something similar in a hardware or automotive store.http://www.mcmaster.com/#edging-u-channels/=u9zzq7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonghornReefer Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah U channel could work. I used the plastic trim because it was on the cheaper end and wouldn't want to add any more weight to the tank itself. I used my trim for decoration purposes only. If you were worried about extra support U channel probably would be a better choice. The edging I acquired actually came from a garage sell. I know SEARS parts store has it,possibly Lowes or Home Depot. I'll see if I can get a part number off the edging I have when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
