Is my tank backwards?

[nitrofish1]

Just noticed something about my tank the other day.

The side panes of the tank a few mm thick, yet I notice that the front wall of the tank is about 1.5-2 times as thick, and my back pane of glass is just as thick as all the others.

I thought my tank was sitting 180 degrees from how it should be on its stand, but its not, and now i feel like an idiot

You clearly have a West Coast tank...an East Coast has a thicker rear pane. You need a Central tank that has equal thickness front and back.....

Yeah um this is where the "im an idiot" dawned on me.

The front and back are of equal thickness....

only view your tank from the ends and you'll never notice

lol I was wondering if maybe you had some starfire tank backwards that would have been laughable.
