I'm no expert but to the best of my knowledge you do not want to have any gaps between your tank and stand. Do you mean that if you look at the bottom of the tank head on you see a gap between the bottom of the tank and the top of the stand? There is a lot of pressure being put on the sides of a tank. Personaly I would want to have a perfect fit.
