HELP! how much is so much for this acrylic bowing

[TheTruTaric]

Hey everyone,
Just purchased a used frag system, 15fal 24x18x9

After cleaning the system i realize the previous owner used some sort of seal in the corner, he promised it wouldn't leak.
However I did not realize just how bowed the tank was, it was full of black sand making it hard to see. Is this tank way to bowed for safe use?

Sorry, I would like to withdraw that opinion. I would wait for one of the tank repair guys to chime in.

That's a pretty garbage patch job..

Any idea how old the tank is?

Got it. That tank is Way older than two years. Does the bow get worse when it is filled?

it was more obvious after i did a test fill but i have to see if it changes from empty to full
