View Full Version : Tank Bowing!
I just noticed my Miracles 48x24x20 rimless starphire has a slight bow in it.
I have about a 1/8" bow right in the middle.
Is this a concern? The tank is about 6-7 months old. Made with 1/2" starphire.

I think all tanks will bow a little not sure if 1/8'' is a big deal or not. You could call who made it after the holiday's

No worries. One of my tanks is 36x18x21 starphire with no bracing and it has about a 1/8" bow on the front and rear. It's been up for three years now.

There is no middle brace. It's rimless.
Yes glass

Yeah? Makes me feel a little better.
I have a 44x24x24 and it has a couple of mm bow. Not noticible but I can tell if I put a straight edge on it. Yours is only about 3mm so I would not worry. If it was going to break it likely would have done so by now.
