Default Unlevel Tank Question...
Anyone have any opinions on an unlevel tank?

I am putting my 4 foot 120 gallon upstairs on a hardwood floor and it is slightly unlevel front to back. The front is just under 1/8th of an inch higher than the back? Problem? Does it need to be adjusted? If so how?

Thanks

You could always use wood shims from home depot or rona to shim the stand level.

Read his first post again. I believe the front is higher than the back by just under 1/8"

I figured he was using the water level as a guide claiming the water to be higher..
