It seems to be a common thing from the searching I did, but alot of people set up bracing for it just to be safe.
Maybe drain the tank and add a brace around the center.

How true is the ruler? If the tank is bowing by about an inch…you are in trouble. The tank was not even full. You are gonna have issues soon. Some bowing is natural but this too much and the tank is not even full.

Uh oh, this thing is going to pop.
Yeah, after your other post, that is not a manufactured bow.
That, is not good.
You could add a center brace…I think there are some How to’s…let me see if I can track one down.
