    Is this ok? My 29 gallon 30" wide 18" tall tank has a noticeable bow in it. I noticed just now putting the glass cover back on. When it's pushed tight to the front of the grooves it hits the corners, but in the middle the tank is bowed out I'd say 2 mm. Is this bad? Just looked a bit extreme. I used this tank years ago and it's been in storage since. Am I a big puddle waiting to happen or am I just overreacting. Please be the latter ...

    2mm should be fine. 2cm is a puddle waiting to happen.

    Agreed. I've had several 29h tanks in the past and I'm running one now, and they have all done the same thing. Never had any issues with it. :)
