Happy Friday
Soo my current tank is bowing in the front and back... Sooo I kind of need to replace it before it blows. Not sure the urgency but I'm thinking sooner than later so no mess happens.

Thinking of buying a tank that has an overflow that exits the tank so I can direct it to my sump or trying to build it but not the most handy with saws...
Any idea of tank-only that I can use my current stand and sump/skimmer/etc...
The stand base is about 30 inches long and about 24 maybe few more inches deep...
I have t5 lights with led moon lights
 
shoot some pictures of what you have now and we would be able to help you better
 
Your tank is bowing?? What size tank is it? Tanks will have some deflection to it when full of water, could this be the issue?
 
just saw your responses... it was actually bowing at the bottom pretty intensely, maybe about an inch. i know it would be normal to at the top so i am not sure what happened but my buddy part owns a shop and getting a new tank, that one was older anyhow.
