Is it possible to remove the black plastic rim off the top of a 2.5 AGA? I really want to set up a pico but want it to match my rimless Finnex.

i think the black rim is there for a reason. you could make a small peice of arcrylic or glass and put it around the rim for braceing.like a clear eurobrace.

honestly it is 2.5 gallons of water build with structure of a 10 gallon aquarium. You should be fine. I took the rim of a 5 and it is just fine. Lots of razor blades and do it carefuly.

Yeah, I second the careful.... CAREFUL. I have actually done this on a 2.5 but I cracked the glass trying to get the rim off...
