acrylic

So i am setting up my first acrylic tank, 180 gallons, and am noticing some bow action on the front and rear panes. Nothing dramatic, just curious to find out if this is the norm.

It is a Clarity Plus 180.

Thanks!

i believe if you ask that in the lighting filtration and equipment forum, they might be able to help a little more. also, there is a DIY section. there is an acrylic thread that a few acrylic people could help you out some too. i have no personal experience with acrylic, but acrylic does bow. (it doesnt look good or safe, but it is usually ok)
i am not trying to get you off this thread, but if you repost in one of those sections, you might get a faster response.

good luck by the way. (you can post some build pictures and get a thread going if you want.)
