30 gal repair

[Richards Aquarium]

Back glass cracked I want to replace it. I can't find a rim. I looked. Can I replace the glass without putting on a top rim ? I watched a rimless build. The only difference is all my glass sits on top of bottom glass as where his build was all the glass sat flush to the bottom of the bottom piec of glass. So I don't know if that will matter in my case.
Thank you for any advice.

You need a rim if it had one. The rimless tanks tend to use different glass and sometimes stronger adhesive.

You can usually get the rim from the manufacturer (aqueon/marineland/etc.) But full honesty, I think a new tank for that size is both cheaper and easier.

You would probably be better off just replacing the tank. Rimless tanks use thicker glass than a rimed tank.
