so the tank footprint is 96x30x24 and is acrylic from tenecor.

when i received tihs tank I only used 4 people on each corner lifting and placing on top of the stand. when we had to lift higher to place on stand since the stand is about 4.5ft high the tank sort of bended sideways. should i have used 6 people 2 for center support?

is this gonna have any effect on the tank leaking or bowing?
 
i dont understand what your really asking as long as it is on the satnd correctly you shouldnt have a rpoblem
 
I took delivery of a Tenecor 350 about six months ago and was in a similar situation. My stand is approx. 36" high. I was the guy in the middle and I have to admit that I provided only minimal support. I wouldn't worry about this. Acrylic tanks will generally exhibit some bowing and this has nothing to do with how you moved it. As far as leakage is concerned, it's possible that the tank was twisted too much, but there's nothing you can do about it now. Fill it and see if it leaks. If it leaks, drain it and contact Tenecor about having a field rep reseal it for you.
 
ive spoke to Ron and he said it may have been better to have center supported, as u fill tank look for any leaks. its been filled 2 months i dont see any leaks am i good to go or that twist could be a hazard in future?

i think i should be ok but jus askin since first time acrylic
 
I moved my 300 with the same dimensions with 2 people, and had to lift it over my mantle and 265 to get it in. It has been fine for well over a year. I'm sure yours is ok.
 
tenecor? so 2 people over another monstertank... have the tank been twisted while its been moving n placing on top stand? As in one person lifts higher then the other makes the tank look like its twisting sort of
 
I don't know if mine is tenecor, but it was probably tweaked in the course of moving it. I know I was.

Bottom line, I wouldn't be worried at all about your situation unless it's just a junk tank, and from what I understand, tenecor doesn't make junk.
