![]() I would toss a piece of insulating foam under it to help support it... you can pick it up at Home Depot or Rona for like $5..

![]() Definitely do not put water in the tank as it sits in the photo or it will crack the tank. Maybe one could reinforce the stand from underneath and then put a foam layer on top of the stand. If it is bowing, foam will not hold it up but will assist with small corrections in flatness of the surface. Maybe shimming the stand in the center at the floor will correct the problem - unsure by photo. My opinion may change if I actually seen the stand in person.

![]() You guys worry too much, I'd bet the value of the tank you won't have any issues as is, most of those store bought stands do the same and it will more than likely straighten out with water in the tank. It's only out by a couple mils.
I would agree with the foam but I also understand you may not want a layer of pink between the tank and stand. |

![]() Looks like an exaggeration by the pictures, sure doesn't look like 3/8". Either way the stand is bowed from use and is very common with these types of stands. It should even out with weight. My bet still stands if anyone wants in

![]() 2nd that looks like an 1/8 max to me. Some thin rubber mat should take care of that if you are concerned about it.
