slight bow in tank

[andrewisgod]

its about 1000L, 2.5m long and 12mm glass and theres a very slight bow in front, i can only just see it, must only be a mm or 2, but im a bit worried, i just filled it up, and i got a safety factor of 3.5 on 2 of those safety calculators online. it should be fine right?
it has bracing going side to side on top and bottom, and front to back in middle

Same with my tank. I called the glass company and was told its normal for glass to flex a bit. Tempered glass flexes more. I took their word for it and so far my tank's still ok. I know how you feel.

dont worry 12mm glass is more than enough, does it have bracing along the top?
