RE: bulging tank!  Carmen Carrouche-Rivers

Hi there,
All my acrylic tanks bulge out. When I bought my 125 I opted for thicker
acrlic, but I still have bulging sides. Most tank failures are seam
separation.
Hope this helps.

Subject: bulging tank!


Hello all,

I thought a sixty gallon older (scratched up but looked good) acrylic
Tru-vue tank was quite a bargain with a big filter for 40$, BUT after
filling it on my garage floor to test for leaks I noticed the sides are
bulging out. It has a sealed top with openings for equipment. There is no
separation along the seams. It is on flat cement although on a slight slant.
Is this normal for an acrylic tank or should I expect a huge flood?

Thanks!-Martha Hoffman
