    To much weight on the floor?

    Could illways stack up a few bricks under the house. Hammer in some shimms, but that will just keep it from sagging any more.

    peddy's FOWLR. "475+ gollon"

    It's been sitting with water in it just under the overflows for about a month. Think I may drain it and shim the left side. The stand has 5/8ths sheet wood on the bottom to help spread the weight out.

    how come no one told me this hobby cost so much!

    Well after 5 hrs or so of work on the tank tonight I seem to have nothing to show for it lol. Bulkheads where put in with the seal on the out side so it started leaking. It's hard to get my arm 30 inchs down inside the overflow to get it off. I'll be back at it tomorrow.
