i am trying to find out if stand is settling out of whack and if i should correct, or if trim is out of whack and have to live with a tank that looks unlevel. is there a risk of coming to see the tank and finding a big mess.

I think I'd be VERY concerned if I noticed the waterline location changing (ie. indicating settling). What is the floor the tank is sitting on? Ie. upstairs/downstairs, sitting on joists, parallel perpendicular etc etc. ?

Is your trim loose, if it isn't, I'd sure be concerned with the tank tilting back and forth.

Where is the tank located in the house concerning upstairs, downstairs. If it's upstairs did you reinforce the floor or place it on top of a load bearing wall.
