I've noticed this today, how much of an issue is it, and how much is too much? The floor is level. It's a Roma 240 on its Fluval stand.

Is this a new bow or could it have always been like that and you only just noticed. A new bow would be more concerning to me.

Just noticed it today, but I don't know how long it has been like it. I looked as I seen a question online. I think I will just message Fluval.

Roma 240 has a plastic brace bar, has it come adrift or is it missing?

The brace looks ok, so I guess the tank should be fine. I've emailed Fluval anyway as I want to know if the shelf in the cabinet is structural as that has bowed from the wood I was storing in it.
