Just recentley shimmed up a tank for a buddy of mine. It was out 1/4 all the way across the front. We used wooden shims from home depot, they worked great. The stand was not on the tack strip, but because the strip bulked up the carpet at the last foot near the wall we had no choice unless they wanted a new tank for there coffee table-not. I used four shims placed evenly apart and it leveled out the tank perfectly.
If the carpet is really thick, then it could mean that in areas the underlay is doubled over. Use the shims, and then let the full tank settle for a few days to see if it needs more adjustments.
cheers, Rich
