I see almost zero bevel/sag/whatever on the edges of the bends, pretty badass considering its 3/8". Nice.

 

Bent is much better looking than solvent welded IMO, if the rest of the tank comes together like what you've shown so far I think you'll have an advantage from the start. Looking good :)

there is a little bit of a dip after bending. that is what routers are for ;)
