Normal or not, it would make me uncomfortable.

Ideas on what you want to do know that you know?

Hmm this seems odd...

I just measured the glass on my 20 gallon high, and it's 1/4".

Thought I should mention it, since there is a 13 gallon difference here and my tank has thicker glass than yours.

Just an observation... I would definitely get a bigger tank, my 15 gallon has the same thickness of glass as your 33 gallon.

EDIT: Actually, you could probably just get away with bracing the tank if thats feasible, though you would have to drain it almost completely to do it. Probably making this idea NOT feasible in many cases.

My 29 has a slight bowing affect, as does my 10 gallon but my 40 gallon doesn't. I think smaller tanks may due it a bit more since the glass isn't as thick?
