The natural bowing of any aquarium when it is filled causes the distance on the middle of the aquarium to become larger that the actual listed width of the aquarium at its side dimensions. The added length of the middle strut is no accident, it is made longer so that the SGT can be properly installed once the aquarium is filled to standard level. In all cases, the middle segment must be cut to size to account for this natural bowing of the glass with the added weight of the water pressing the sides outward.
