30g bow

So do all standard 30g long tanks with the 1/4in. glass, have a bow in the front. Mine does. Of course I just added some sps frags yesterday.

What a piece of crap. I never used this one much, just as a sump for a bit, so never full. Wonder if my newer 30g H would have the same bow? Never noticed when it was running fresh.

I had a 30G that did the same thing.
My 45 and 55 with center braces did not!

Thanks. I just picked up the 50g. I also see that the new 30g longs do have a center brace.
