Noticed a slight bow in the tank while looking at it from the side. Nothing drastic but It worries me. If this thing breaks I doubt I'll ever be allowed another tank ever again.
Upon further inspection it seems as though the tank is leaning towards the front a bit more so tomorrow when i do a pwc i'll try moving the tank back a bit to try and even it out.
Get a flat straight item and put it on one side of the bow - how far off the glass is it from the other side?
Camera photo's can be misleading because of a phonemna called Barrel roll - Round lenses turns squares with straight lights into slightly curved lines - more noticeable at the edges of the photo.
Tanks of that size all bow, unless extra thick glass was used. As an example, most 36" long 35s are made with 1/4" glass and they all bow. It is normal.

Ok so just to clarify the bowing is normal and i shouldn't be worried about it? I really couldn't do much as for moving the tank and i see know differences in water line as far as levelling goes. When i first set up the tank it was pretty much level so it could just be my eyes.
