Acrylic, 8x2x2 external overflow.

I am not comfortable with some of the seams. Can someone who knows acrylic tank building give me some input?? Thanks

This is the the top panel and front panel, mid tank

Oh man! Be sure to post a review of the manufacturer on the forum to warn others of the shotty craftsmanship!

The other pictures look as if it had been stressed, betting during shipment. Really don't think the manufacturer wouldn't have allowed that to be shipped that way. The other that you did, well that doesn't really matter, the tank wouldn't be usable anyway.

Inspecting the tank before signing for it from the shipper would have been very helpful. Might be uphill battle with the manufacturer, hopefully they understand.
