Put something with a true edge on the inside of the tank on the bottom glass. See if there is a gap. If there is I don't think this is a good thing. If no gap ( no bow in bottom glass ) just shim it up and go with it.

what kind of starfish?

It also comes labeld as YardRight tropical playsand and Old Castle. Make sure it reads 100% natural from the carribean. Don't rinse it. The "experts" claim that all is needed, even the dust.
