Is my tank going to burst??

[ss720]

I've noticed at the top of my tank, the glass bends just a few millimeters inwards towards the back of the tank in middle.

That's the front glass, at the top inwards towards the back.

The tank is level at all sides.

This is taken from below looking up towards the tank frame in the center



This is the right side from same angle.

The left side is the same as this

It's 190 gallons... Am I screwed???

Please help, I'm really worried...

It's not like this on the bottom of the tank on the same side, only the top.

What does this mean..?

I can't really tell what I'm looking at. Sorry

That the front glass with the frame on top viewed from a angle pointed upwards.

Notice the gap between the glass and frame on the first picture and the lack of gap on the second.

The glass is siliconed onto the frame.

i would guess your fine but that is just a guess.

I can't do anything until Thursday.

I'll empty the water 70-80%

Then I'll measure the water level on every corner and place where there is possible to adjust the legs of the stand.

It's standing on 8 adjustable legs.

I measure it to be level, but I noticed that if it's 1 cm below the rim, the water is lower in the corners of the front glass then the rest of the tank.

What conclusion is there to be made from that observation?

At work they have a identical tank, that one does not have this gap.....

I'm terrified that something bad will happen...

If the water is lower in the front, then you need to raise the front up or lower the back

Is that trim on there for aesthetics or structural support? Usually glass bowing outward unchecked is bad

I would measure the glass on the inside to make sure it's the glass bowing and not the top trim. I have never heard of glass bowing IN.

Thats an accident waiting to happen. Thats a lot of water to deal with I would empty that tank quickly. Use rubbermaid tubs for the fish.
