um not really sure about 6" i guess.

yeah the tank isnt level, the carpet on the floor is making it slant to one side, i can tell because the carpet on one side isnt flatten and the other side it, not really sure why it is doing that, i guess the tank is not perfectly straight on the stand so its shifting the tank to one side.

I give some thought to emptying the tank as much as possible to get it level.

I would drain and level that. You may not have to drain it all the way but at least half way or so. Its not worth risking it. If you leave it like this, there is a lot of pressure on the seam/corner that the tank is leaning towards instead of distributed evenly around the tank.

Looks good otherwise!

shims, stainless steel washers, anything that won't compress over time. And I would put them under the stand under the plywood base.
