You'd probably be better off picking up some proper wood or plastic shims from Home Depot or such.

yea i agree the time and money you put in ur saltwater tank you dont want to risk it getting all destroyed by something small like that make it secure, home depot wont cost you more then 20 $

so all i could find was composite wood but now im left with a half inch gap is that safe with the shims on one side and no support in the middle? and also im still off about 1/16 of an inch big deal?
and with that gap ill have to watch water running underneath right?

Are you said'in that the surface of your stand is not level. You could add styroform under the tank.

are you shimming underneath the tank or underneath the stand?

from reading, does seem like bows have problems popping seams. I'd be putting a lot of effort in ensuring the tank is fully supported and level.

i shimed underneath the stand
and 1/16 is really that big of a deal... jeezz wishing i had a more level floor
