Anyone ever shoot a Biocube?

Maybe it's the acrylic, maybe it's because the front is ever so slightly bowed, but for the life of me, I can't get a good focused shot. I'm using a tripod (weighted) a T3i with a canon 100mm macro lens & release cable. Here's an example:

Just seems like every pic is slightly blurred.

A bow will do that.

+1. Is there a flat side you can shoot through?

The sides are flat, but I still get a blurry look. Think it may be the acrylic? I shot a friends tank a few weeks ago and turned out fine.

Looks to me like it is the bow from the acrylic that is causing it. Either that or try increasing the shutter speed a little because it could be from motion blur.
