Hi Friends,

Hope all is well !

I just noticed that my new tank's (6.5 feet x 3 feet x 1.75 Feet) hood has not been made properly. The Wooden frame lining inside the hood, which sits on the Tank's Glass rim is not completely resting on all 4 tank sides and is instead touching and resting majorly only on the front glass's edge. The Wooden strip is not even touching the back glass.

I'm really worried that the whole weight of the hood (about 50 to 80 Kgs) is directly acting upon the front glass alone, instead of getting evenly distributed around all the 4 tank sides. Can this be fatal and break my tank ?

I'm also very confused because I personally sat with the carpenter when he was re-doing the tank's hood and I made it a point that the wooden frame was well made of teak wood strip and was very straight. I really have no idea on where the fault is and why isnt the frame sitting perfectly on all 4 sides...

Will be a great help and I'll be so grateful to you if you can kindly help me solve this as I'm really worried if my tank will crash because of this...

Thanks a lot Friends,
Regards and Care
Kush

I don't think it would be a problem, but having said that, I would have him fix it.
