Q:What are the purposes of aquarium frames?

A: There are several purposes of an aquarium frame. The frames with braces you see on larger aquariums help support the glass panels from bowing to an extent where the glass could possibly break. Aquarium frames are also used for cosmetic reasons (i.e. They hide water lines and give your tank a trimmed, finished look). They can also be used to cover any sharp edges on the glass of your aquarium and to hold your tops/hoods.


Q: Do aquarium frames hold your tank together?

A: Aquarium frames are not designed to hold your tank together. Frames with braces do help support the glass from bowing too much, but a properly built tank should only held together by the silicone seams
