Bowing stand

[SadeyJ9]

I’ve recently got a new tank and stand , when it’s full the sides of the stand bow?, does anyone know how I can strengthen the stand? Or is that normal?Thank you , I’ve put a picture of where it’s bowing.

Was it brand new or secondhand? If its new I'd send pics to the manufacturer as I'm sure a brand new stand shouldn't do that so it may be faulty.

That's scary, and I would probably consider it an emergency. I advise partly draining the tank, leaving enough water for the fish to survive, then find a sturdier stand.

Affirmative ! That is scary . I would make taking care of that my first priority .
