1/8" is not a big deal but having the tank on laminate floor is a bad idea unless it not the floating type of laminate. Unless it doesn't matter to you that much, the laminate will want to expand & contract with room temp changes & with the tank weight on it you might have a little issue with the joints buckling. I do speak from experience on this matter, bad experience that is.

Also the unlevel could be caused by the laminat compressing on the outer edges if that's the way it's leaning.
