inedukated September 15, 2006 Share September 15, 2006 Hello all, This question is pretty simple. I have a 55gal tank, and I want to know if it's ok to remove that plastic cross-bar on top of the tank. It doesn't seem to support the tank in any way, it just gets in my way when I'm cleaning/feeding/breaking stuff. Thanks -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps the long sides together and when filled, it will flex outward and stress the seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme_tooth_decay September 15, 2006 Share September 15, 2006 don't remove it whatever you do. I had one once with the crossbar broken, it bowed out very noticably when I was filling the tank the first time. I got rid of it before filling the tank all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
