new fishtank concerns

Hi
I have purchaced a new fish tank it's 130 ltrs and has on large curved piece of glass an on rectangular piece for the back. The back piece doesn't appear to have been attached straight it's slightly twisted meaning some edges petrude the front glass and some art covering the edges of the front piece. Does anyone know if this is likely to cause the tank to be less secure

    It should be fine. The water tightness is solely dependant on the sealant holding the glass panes together. Is it a Juwel tank?

    I'm not sure that's true, although I'm no expert. Hopefully someone else will comment, but I thought it was important that all the surfaces were flush and as straight as possible? Perhaps consult your local fish store?

    Yes, I agree with this. I wouldn't fill a 130 litre tank if the edges were anything less than perfectly square.
