New Acrylic Tank

[tresguey]

I just picked up a used acrylic tank. 36L X 15W X 24H. I filled her up to make sure there were no leaks before I start to buff it out. I filled it to just before the built in overflow. Good news was there are no leaks. But I did noticed the front was bowed out. Is this normal for an acrylic tank? I have always had glass tanks and have never noticed a bow.

Not really... If its a production tank "tru vu" etc then yes it's normal... Not good thou... How thick is it??

It is slightly under 3/8 inch. Seems thin. I am not sure who makes it. Any clue?
