10Gal Slightly Bulging

[sidorak2005]

Hi, I've just recently replaced my aquarium and I just realized that there was a slight bulge to my glass aquarium. I know that glass isn't normally supposed to bulge so is this okay? I've had 10 gallons before that had a slight bulge. The bulge is currently around 5 mm at max in the front but it's a bit noticeable and i'm a perfectionist when it comes to my tanks
This is the tank I got
Aquarium Glass » Top Fin® 10 Gallon Glass Aquarium | PetSmart

Do I need to reduce the amount of water I have inside or take out any gravel? I currently keep the water level around 3 cm from the top.

Unless you want to clean up a lot of water, i would exchange the tank. You shouldn't see 5mm (approx 3/16 inch) bulge in a 10 gal, I think it's a manufacturing defect.
I have no bulge in my 20 or my 55 glass tanks.

All my tanks have a slight bulge. You will be fine, grasshopper, and so will your fish. Rest in peace.

I've actually had a 10G tank before that bulged and I actually replaced it with a new one, (my current one). The reason why i'm concerned is because i'm not sure if i'm actually doing something wrong, (my floor is like 1mm crooked).
