Well I am getting ready to start mod'ing my BC 29 again, and was wondering what people thought about removing the top plastic trim. Does it have any structrual importance? I am wanting to remove the trim and make it rimless with my LEDs hanging from above. And remove the back chambers and remake them so that my skimmer fits and I have room for a mini fuge and other mech/chemical filtration.

So any thoughts on the structrual significance of the upper trim? and maybe the peices that run vertically in the back.
