Front glass bow

HELP!!! Does anyone have the same problem with this Reef Octopus tank bowing a little in the middle towards the top when with water filled? I notice the front glass has about 1/8" bow/curved when measureing from the back to the front. Should I be worry? My tank/stand is level.

Maybe anyone with rimless tank can charm in.

I sent some pictures to Coralvue as they requested. They did not respond to me for a day already. So far I don't have a good impression with Coralvue. They are REALLY BAD in response time.

I'm waiting on the bottom elbow - I won't even tell you how long I've been waiting - it's embarrassing.
I bought my set up used, so I'm not sure how it originally came (or what the instructions were) but the pipes are cemented into the big gasket and then I put plumbers tape on the threads before I tightened that part. Since I don't have a return barb, I haven't put that section together yet. Did you glue the elbow and barb in at the bottom?

Love your light hanger! I also made mine out of 8020, but I attached it to the back of the stand.

I have ordered the Trigger Systems Crystal 30 to replace my Reef Octopus sump. Does anyone have the same sump Trigger system crystal 30? I hope it could house my Reef Octopus xp1000sss skimmer, heater and a pump for my chiller in the 1st section of the sump.

Trigger System Crystal 30

I have replaced my Reef Octopus sump with this Trigger system yesterday. My first impression for the TS crystal 30 was a little bit disappointed on the thinness of the acrylic. It is only 3/16" thick but with all the bracing and customer reviews I believe it will be a great sump. Also this sump is really light weight unlike the Reef Octopus sump. So far it look great and performs well.
