It could be level but it is definitely not fully supported. Those side panes of glass are just hanging off and supported by silicone! I'm sure it will hold but that is a heck of a lot of stress over time and i would personally lose sleep over it. As already mentioned, I too would recommend putting a flat rigid piece of wood underneath it. You can go cheap and get something at Rona/Home depot or go expensive and find something at ikea that looks fancy :-)

by the way, i noticed that your overflow box is made of fancy glass (rain drop etched?). Did you ask for that or did it come like that? it is actually neat looking!

I've seen it used by Elite Aquatics as well. In fact if you drop into the shop they have a few on display with that glass on the overflow box. I think they do it for effect. I don't mind it, looks kinda neat :-)
