ok how much deflection is there. glass does deflect and depending on the amount it may or may not be an issue. get a nice strait edge preferably as long as the tank and lay it across the front and measue the gap at the ends. my tank flexed 1/32 of an inch when I took the center brace out which is nohing to worry about. I have seen some tanks flex up to a 1/4" and it wasn't a problem. it all depends on the thickness of the glass, and the hight and lenght of the glass.
