High sides on tanks?

[glarior]

Is there something I can buy or make to angle the perimeter of my aquariums? Goal is to prevent salt from splashing out of tank and fish from climbing out over the sides.

Rimless tank?

[glarior]

Negative. Standard style trim.

How about an acrylic lid?

[glarior]

I prefer no lid plus the eel or shark could easily push it off if it wants to. Eel is least 3ft now. Barely fits in 3" pvc pipe :-)

Any pics? Other than a mesh top which really won't stop water it may be hard
to achieve this. What about euro bracing?

[glarior]

Had a mesh top and always was in my way.

I dont thing euro bracing would prevent the shark or eel from getting out. Ive watch them go to the top and just crawl over the edge.

I remember someone telling me of a commercial product that could do it... but I dont remember who or what it was. Should have wrote it down lol

Maybe I'm not understanding your question. What do you mean make an angle to your perimeter

see how the edges angle in over the aquarium? Prevents their large stingrays from going over the edge. Something like that but with a standard rectangle aquarium that I can do as an add on. If I had money I would buy that aquarium lol.

AH ok!!! Why would a eurobracing not work? Especially if you're doing like a 5'' brace, you'd effectively get the same area towards the inside of the tank.

What shark btw, that's so cool!

[glarior]

Hardest part of euro bracing would be doing it with the aquarium in operation.

I have two rescue sharks... epaulette and marble.

That aquarium is at the grapevine mall in dfw. Well worth the visit and price.
