I am new to this hobby and have purchased a 125 tank. I decided to make my own stand and purchsed some 2"x2" 3/16" tubular steel for the legs and some 2"x2" 3/16" angle iron for the top. I welded the top all together and welded in 6 legs and all the lower bracing for the legs. This thing is strong. My question is when I put the store bought tank on the stand there are spots that will span a foot or two where the tank is about 1/32" from touching the top. It appears to be in the tank itself because if I turn the tank the gap follows the tank and seems to be just on the front of the tank. My question is that amount of gap acceptable? I called the place where the tank came from and they said it was fine, but since they are just store employees I thought I would ask the experts. Is it ok for the tank to flex that much or will it cause it to crack?
