Acrylic tank thickness question

[pugz508]

Just purchased a 65x30x20 aquarium roughly 165 gallons it's euro braced with a approx 1" piece around the top and three braces across about 3" wide left/right /center. All of the panels are 3/8" acrylic and all te seems look great. Just wondering if this tank will have to much bowing and not be structurally sound?

My old 125 was built with 3/8" all around, after a few years later I noticed a little bow on the front panel. I think structurally then you should be ok assumed the tank was built correctly.
