I would say when I push the front left corner down the opposite back right corner goes up 1/8" . I think the tank is slightly twisted. When I use my level on it from side to side its perfectly level. when I use it front to back on the left side its leaning slightly backwards and when I uses it on the right side its leaning slightly forward thats whats causing the tank to sit uneven. crazy cuz its perfectly square. Ok, so then if I take the back left support out and shorten it and lengthen the right front post that shoudl even it all out in theory right ?

Like everyone else says, shim stand and put foam under the tank. I would use 1/2 inch of the pink foam.

Hey,

when you shim the tank, make sure you find a way to glue the shim underneath the one leg. Last thing you want happen is to have the shim dislodge itself.

The foam is relatively cheap.... so make sure you use it.

Not sure how this will impact the tank but it will not be good.
