The front glass panel on my aquarium is bowing.
When you take a straight edge to the front glass panel, there is about 1mm of play.
It is only a 30 gallon, should this be happening?

My cell phone cam won't focus on such a shot. No camera besides the phone.
I searched on the net and apparently bowing is not an uncommon event. I going to keep a watchful eye on the aquarium.

I had a 29g acrylic that bowed more than that... never had a problem, but it was nerve wracking!

Yep, my 40 gallon acrylic has a definite bow in back. I try not to look at it and put minimal weight on it.

1 mm? Not 1 cm? 1 mm is no big deal. Remember, glass is actually a liquid...

A liquid, holding a liquid.A bit redundant.
I believe you bill but I'm going to have to look that up. You got me curious now.

Glass is considered a liquid, fact.
