Is my tank ok?

I have a 30 long (36"X13"X17")Oceanic tank with 1/4"glass and no center brace.It has been set up for 2 months and last night when i put my top on for a min. to see what it look like with the top i saw that the front glass is buldged(bad spelling)out 1/4" in the middle.I know Oceanic is a good tank and it was made that way not altered.Does anyone else have this or is this ok?

THANKS lots for any info!!!!!!!!!

It is OK, the bulge is a result of the pressure. As far as the top rim is OK the tank will be OK.

I know there will be no issues, have a 29 gal I use for a Q tank and also bulges about 1/4" in the center top, I have had it for the last 15 years and has traveled half way around the world (as we moved) and holding well.
