Sigh.. Thanks a lot fr yr advice.. Im just gonna shift to a 30'' height one!
I do believe u r right but the nagging doubt at the back of the mind is
getting very annoying!
And eventually I guess no amount of money is gonna be worth an injury. There
is no bowing I can see and no danger from any kids etc. However the tank is
in prime display area of the living room so will definitely be dangerous if
it explodes!!
Good Luck,
Ajay
