um not really sure about 6" i guess.

yeah the tank isnt level, the carpet on the floor is making it slant to one side, i can tell because the carpet on one side isnt flatten and the other side it, not really sure why it is doing that, i guess the tank is not perfectly straight on the stand so its shifting the tank to one side.

I give some thought to emptying the tank as much as possible to get it level.

I would drain and level that. You may not have to drain it all the way but at least half way or so. Its not worth risking it. If you leave it like this, there is a lot of pressure on the seam/corner that the tank is leaning towards instead of distributed evenly around the tank.

Looks good otherwise!

what should i level it with ? shims?? under the stand or tank? the stand has a plywood bottom on it.

shims, stainless steel washers, anything that won't compress over time. And I would put them under the stand under the plywood base.

ok i leveled it off so i dont have to worry about it anymore, even though i wasnt that much.

a few update pictures.

added a scopas tang. it is beautiful

I hope you're as happy with my Scopas Tang as I am. I hadn't even thought of adding one until asmodeus suggested one to me. He has been a very friendly fish and enjoyable to watch. I added a pygmy angel tonight and he hangs around him sort or acting like a big brother.

well it was that or a yellow tang and everyone has one of those, i love all those black dots all over them. very active swimmer, kinda timid right now, but we will wait and see what happens.

what do you feed yours??

I make a mixture of mysis and a little bit of brine. I have to chop it up quite small as he is still very little. Sometimes I add in a drop or two of Selcon or a pinch of Cyclop-eeze. Every second day I give him a piece of Nori to shred.

My thoughts on the yellow tang were the same as yours. The problem I have now, is what fish do I get next, that is very peaceful that will add some yellow to the tank.
