Level tank

[The Grizz]

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.

That too but also so close to the direct cold cement slab, I'd think the need of heating would be much more. But never had any tanks in the basement.

Maybe it is just your level ? It's easy to be a little out like that ..... Read with one side pointed to the right and then flip sides and check again ,although I wouldn't be worried about an 1/8

mine is out more than that probably closer to 1/2" no problems. Mine was because of the nailer board under the carpet in the basement. It was perfectly level until it was full for about a week

You will be OK, my rank is off a bit ROM left to right (5 foot tank), and I haven't had any issues for over 4 years its been running

Mine has been out by 1/2" for the past 3 years. Still seems to be holding water just fine. Of course now I probably jinxed myself..
