So hey everyone I have a little problem. I have to level a 6x2x2 1/2 fish tank and the fish tank is perfectly level on the left but the right needs to be moved up about 1/8th of a inch to be perfect. Thats easy enough but the whole back side of the fish tank needs to move up about a little more than 1/8th also. This is an older tank so I want it to be fully level to prevent leaks, cracks, bowing, broken braces/trim, and give peace of mind.
So the right side needs to go up a little more than 1/8th.
Here is a side view. The space from the bottom of the wall and the stand is about 3 inches. So how could I put the shims in? i could break them off and put sections in but the problem of hammering it in is a problem...
The tank has a hard floor as it supports the sump and gives structural integrity to the stand.
I can access the back as there are "windows" (regtangle holes) in between the supports.
Has anyone shimmed the back of the fish tank with little clearance? I guess I can cut them into smaller pieces and take the sections I need but how can you hammer them in? The tank dry is 700 pounds plus the stand and I cannot lift it as I'm currently doing this project by myself.
