As long as you're not running a wave, I see no issue.
Hey Mark, most of us nowadays have wave makers... I am not too worried about that, since my tank is strong and eurobraced.

You have to remember that most of us also have foam under the tank. In my case the stand is still level, the floor is still level, but the tank isn't. It isn't that bad, but for me I say it is the foam.

The foam is used to help eliminate stress caused by things like uneven stand surface or anything that may make the surface that the tank sits on not perfect. But what do you do if the foam compresses on an angle?

I know its there, if you look hard you will also see it, but I think all is good. I would never recommend trying to relevel any tank when setup, why chance it. You may cause the stress needed to cause it to crack, so LEAVE IT BE!

So when you come over next time, remember to tilt your head 1-2 degrees and all is fine. Or maybe we just drink lots of good Rum, and then we won't give a shiet
