Question

AGA tank mods?


Can you cut off the plastic center bar on a 46 Bowfront?

Can you remove all the plastic trim from a 20L to fit in a 46's stock pine stand?

I would think that doing both would be a bad idea since the brace adds significant strength to the tank and keeps it from bowing out and failing. As for the plastic rim around the tank, I would also be very hesitant to do that for the same reasons. If all else fails, just call All Glass and ask their customer service.
