How to remove aquarium trim and DIY your own aquarium trim!
If you are looking to make your own trim it would generally be due to the fact that you built your own aquarium and are looking to complete it with a trim. Or your current trim is too big and blocks a lot of the viewing area. or maybe its even broken and needs replaced.
What ever the reason, i’m going to show you a cheap, easy and practical way to build an aquarium trim.

Your trim is strictly decorative, not structural. Do you have a vid on constructing a structural support frame?
Will this trim work on a 240 gallon tank
Hello! I need to replace both the trim and brace on my 125 gal. Do I silicon the glass brace underneath the trim? TIA! absolutely love your videos!
What did you use to Bruce it?
What happens if my cat tries to sleep on it?? Ive got the old style hood that is now broken and bowed from overheating due to my pain in the butt cat
Such epic music!
Is it safe to remove the trim on a 30g long and leave it without a brace?
I just picked up a 75g. The trim is scratched and looks awful, and the center brace is broken. Can I use this method to make a new one? Assuming I get some stronger/thicker plastic or other material? The tank will be for turtles, so it wont be completely filled like it would be with fish. Would this method still had some security to keep it bowing out at all?
How did you get it off so easy
I just acquired an older 90-gallon aquarium ($40 – huge score!) that needs a good cleaning and trim repair/replacement (holds water perfectly). Haven't made up my mind yet if I want to go with another tank for fish or do a reptile enclosure. Either way, this was a huge help!
great work
I have a 90 gallon. And I want to take off the top edge trim. I'm looking for anyone who thinks this might be a bad idea to tell me why. I've heard the water weight causes glass to flex yadayadayada… is this the case or not because I can deal with a style if it means my fish aren't on the floor. Otherwise it will look 1000× better.
You gave a solution to me. Kudos 😎😎😎
I love good trim…..
yayyyyyy , thank you so much for this !
Can you do the same with the bottom trim or are you concerned about messing with it's supporting features?
Is it safe to do this on a acrylic tank?
How would you do a bottom trim that's broken? Do I need the bottom trim?
My 120 gallon tank needs to be replaced both the top and bottom. Where can I get a 60" frame? Am I correct this size tank requires a center brace on the top?
hi if anyone can help please help me out. I have a 55 gallon tank and the brace is missing a piece so how can I fix it. or can I order a new trim? it's 48" × 12" 3/4 × 21"
