I recently purchased a 90g tank from a memeber on here. He was great to deal with, and everything was good until i got the tank home. Im not sure if this is a problem or not, but i just renovated my appartment and would be devistated if this tank were to fail and break a pain of glass or something.
The stand has about a 1/4" to 3/8" of a gap between the middle of the tank and the top of the stand, in the front and the back. All 4 corners look and feel solid, but i realize once this tanks fill thats a whole lot of water and weight.
This is my second tank and i dont want to take chances here, so i thought i would try to some to some more experienced people and ask for advice. Should i not worry, the tank will be ok, or should i see if the seller is willing to maybe do something about the stand. I took a couple pictures, they are pretty poor quality, but like i said the top of the stand looks to be bowed down pretty even threwout the stand, something i didnt notice till i got the tank home and was cleaning it.
