That is absolutely brilliant! I don't like the look of those particular clips (way too bulky), but I'm going to steal this idea and build my own out of some acrylic.

I was thinking about building from acrylic as well if I can't find them pre-built. It looks like they have both corner pieces as well as a simpler profile for the straight edges of the tank. I agree the corners are kinda bulky but the straight edge pieces are perfect. Four of those on the sides of a rimless tank would be hardly noticeable!

Awesome, thanks badfish! I've sent a request to Ecoxotic to find out how I can get my hands on them.

Easy to make with scraps of lexan. It bends in a vice, like aluminum, without breaking, and holds it shape. I learned this from my plane building.

I use it also for tank tops instead of plexi. Has very good light transmission qualities.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
