Hi,
I'm looking for opinions on whether I should be concerned or not on the current "levelness" of my acrylic aquarium (60" long x 24" deep, 28" height). I've seen a number of threads at the various sites relating to this topics but nothing really definitive. Sooo, I figure I would ask…
Over this last weekend I moved the tank to its final resting place on an in-wall stand. Although the stand is built very strong, in my haste to complete the move I failed to check that the stand was completely level. So in the end it appears that the tank is about and 1/8" - 3/16" off from right to left. I did use 3/4" foam between the aquarium and the 3/4" plywood, and it appears that the tank makes good contact with the foam in all places except a tiny bit of one corner to maybe a 1/32" extent. I’m considering using the floor jack and a 2x4 from my garage and attempting to raise and shim the one side, but if this fails, I’m wondering if I need to be really concerned.
Thanks in advance,
Ted S.
