old 135 gallon tank with no center brace concern?

[cichlidzoid]

I have a 135 gallon with no center brace. the tank didn't come with one and its in good condition. My concern is that it bows a 1/4" when filled with water. Does anybody know if that's ok? I've had different feed back but from people that never heard of a tank with no center brace. If anybody had one or know about this particular tanks please give me some advise.

My 180 has no center brace but it also has 1" starfire glass.

1" glass on a 180? I have never heard of that...

My 180 is pretty old, probably from the 80s and still only has 1/2" glass.

I bought it used a few weeks ago. Its 35" tall its 58x28x35 I'm pretty sure it was custom made by someone since its euro brace

The 135 I have is 72"x18"x24" with 1/2" glass and there is a piece of sticker between the top trim and glass that say march 27,1987.
