Is My Tank Level Enough?

[Stoty]

Hi,

I have everything shimmed up and everything was level before i added water. Now that i have water, i notice that the back of the tank could come up slightly (as you can see in the pics). The only comfort I have is that the tank seem to be in the same exact state of unlevelness. Can i get away with this? I would hate to drain my tank again and give myself a headache with the shims and possibly make it worse, but I would really hate for my new tank to spring a leak. Please help me! Thanks. You guys always come through for me.

It doesn’t look to bad at all, I would leave it. What are you going to stock it with?

Get it level, seriously, a few degrees out can cause place huge quantities of stress on joints, it's not difficult to do and will ensure the tank will last as long as it should.

I had a 110 gallon tank that was ½” off front to back and it was like it for the 5 years I had the aquarium set up. The only reason I took it down was because I was moving.

When I installed my 180 it turned out to be completely level. I wish i could say it was from my amazing leveling skill. The truth is I got overexcited & forgot to check the level before I filled it up. It was 100% luck.

Best thing you can do to level a tank is to put a pieace of plywood under the bottom of the stand, and a thick picke (1inch) of polystyrene sheet under the tank, it will then self level as much as possible.

Cheers.
