My Tank Build

Anybody know any reason my tank would be rocking still?

I leveled the leveling frame, then checked the stand once i put it on top that it was leveled then again once the tank was on, checked the water level with a measuring tape to make sure both sides had the amount of spacing.

Its very concerning
I had 2 IM EXT 200 tanks. These were before the leveling frame but I had them level. When I had them full they rocked some, not that bad. I would definitely add corner braces to the entire aluminum frame. It makes no sense to me to have all those 90 degree angles with no corner brackets. I am no engineer but I suspect that would help. I did not keep my tanks but was planning on adding those braces if I did.

I have MP 40s as well as DMP 20, 30, 40. I find the DMP 20 to be close to an MP40. The DMP 30 is a little stronger than an MP 40. The DMP 40 is a LOT stronger than an MP 40. FYI.
My biggest gripe with the DMP pumps, is the inability to set the power less than 30%

As long as you get the right size pump it is not a big issue but I agree. Sometimes I would like to turn them down lower. I think the biggest issue is we all assumed the DMP numbers are similar to the MP 40 numbers are they are not.

My biggest issue with these DMP right now is that it doesnt seem to have that strong of magnet hold, I had to put a sticky pad with a zip tie cause it fell atleast 2-3 times already. Then when you try to line up the magnet to the dry side it doesnt line up that well and when it does it makes a lot noise but somehow when you play around with it and it doesnt line up it goes quiet lol but then idk if thats going to affect the output
