jon is right, i guess i should have mentioned that. the reason i only want to take 55 gallons out is because i'm lazy. but really, it won't be that bad. i'll go clean out two of them tonight, that should easy hold all the water in the display tank, and then i'll shim it up.

i checked it at lunch and it actually looks like the right side of the stand is also about 1/16" higher than the left. which means the tank may actually be twisting slightly. is this an issue as well? you'd think the 1" styrofoam would correct this problem. there is no visible difference looking at the tank, except for the fact that under the eurobracing on the right side, occasionally air laps underneath, whereas on the left, this doesn't happen ever... maybe i should have stuck to a 75 gallon...
