The tank is clearly bowing out and the center brace isn't able to hold it anymore. As the pressure continues, eventually the glass will keep bowing further until the glass snaps and you'll have 150g of water on the floor. I worked in a LFS a long time ago and saw it happen over time (probably over the course of a year)
The tank was brand new when i bought it only 1.5 years ago. I spoke with marineland and we are working through it. I think i will be getting a new tank delivered.
That picture may actually make it seem worse than it is. I have attached a couple of more pictures. I measured the tank and it is level and no noticeable bowing other than just the center brace issue.
You might want to put a clamp on that, dont tighten it though. Id measure the dimensions at the sides and see how far off the middle is just to get an idea of how much its flexing.
