i think its called a support bar on my jewel 240 it runs across the centre of my tank from front to back any how i noticed today is slightly curving(bending) towards the water...............is this a problem and is it fixable if it is ? thanks for your response joe
 
has it always been like this? if it has then it might have been a oddball tank and it was just made like that. A tank I got a few years back had theres missing and I had to buy glass and silicone it on.. I think it should be ok but just keep your eye on it.
 
I've just had a brand new jewel vision 260 delivered. Haven't done anything with it yet except put it in the corner of the room. The support bar looks as though it bends though just like you described. I thought perhaps it was deliberately built that way. Hope so anyway! :-(
 
I have a 65 gallon like that, it's nothing to worry about. Glass will flex a little, that support is there to keep it from flexing too much. If the glass were flexing it would pull the support straight. The glass is not flexing now, though it may over time.
 
thanks for all your replies you have put my mind at ease now so i wont have nightmares of my fishtank cracking or something and waking up to a flooded living room lol
