258g 1/2" Acrylic Reef Tank capacity question

I built a 258g 24" Tall Acrylic 1/2" Tank and worry that I'm just a tad bit under recommended specs (.73" recommended).
Specs:

72x24x36 (24" Tall)
1/2" Acrylic on all front, back, top, sides, bottom and bracing.
1.5" wide Border around the top.
Two 2" Top Bracing at 24" intervals.
The front bows just barely noticably (maybe 1/8 - 1/4"). The back does not bow because of extra re-enforcment from the 72" overflow.
Does anyone think I'll be having any problems 1+ year from now?
