finally, put water in my tank, but..............................

[gumbii]

the tank isn't level... well, my floor i guess... it freaken sucks... it's a 30x30x24 rimless cube... came with a stand, but i guess my floor isn't level...? their's a quarter inch difference between the back of the tank to the front all around... should i be concerned...?

i emptied the tank, and now i'm thinking WTF am i gonna do... the bottom of the stand is all one piece of wood... i don't want to warp it... should i go under the house and jack it up...? LOL... i have a thick yoga mat thing under the tank, but i didn't notice it actually level it out... i was told it would level it once it's filled and has pressure... is there a different mat i should buy...???

what would jose casas do...????

If your floor isn’t level then you can’t put water in the tank. Bring the tank to my house. My floor is perfectly leveled

 

[r20crazy]

shim the stand base not the tank itself

really, shims...??? i thought shims were bad....

Can you cut up a foam floor mat they use for working out? Or metal leveling feet on the stand?

I’m not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but you can shim the stand.

You could possibly try to shim it, if no one suggested that yet.

 

[dontavo27]

Yup....



shims.

Or cut a 1/4” piece of ply wood the length of the stand, so you have one nice solid piece.
basically 1/4” by 4”
