How should i level my tank?

Looks good!

To level the tank, you can shim (sp?) under the stand. Never do it between the tank and stand! I'm not sure on the foam--others can chime in.

For the writing...I'm assuming you've tried Windex? Strange as it sounds I always use WD-40 for things like that...works like a charm.

paint thinner works well for the glass cleaning.

ya, level under stand, not tank. Under the tank, I've always used foam ridgid insulation. Writing will scrap off with a blade, don't scratch it though.

You could use a little black krylon fusion pain on the return lines if you want to cover the bright white fittings.

I always use foam under my frameless tanks, where the glass is in contact with the wood. Never used any with a framed tank, as I dont see how it would help.

Was there not a warning from one of the manufacturers of framed tanks, against using foam under the glass or something ? I cant remember, as the thread was some time ago on RC. ?

I dont have any under my 90 AGA. Of course that does not make it correct .
