Hey!
Im starting this thread to share some about my ongoing project. There will without a doubt pop up some questions for the tank building masters on this forum aswell!
So Im building a 230 gallon glass tank measuring 72"x40"x20" (lxwxh). Will be eurobracing and building the tank "sides-on-bottom"-style.
Im excited and also a bit scared since Ive never built a tank larger than 20 gallons. But Im going to be extremely meticulous and really take my time with this project.
Im almost done with the stand. Its built with 2x4s with 3/4" melamine shelves on top and Im planing on adding foam or some similar product between the tank and stand.
My biggest problem at the moment is that the floor is very uneven. Especially a bump in the middle of the floor where the tank is standing is problematic.
Im trying to counter this with each leg being able to be raised individually by using perforated metal sheets as shims (see pic below). Not sure if its a great solution though.. Opinions on this would be great!
Also, the most important thing when leveling a tank is to make sure the corners are level right? A very slight "sagging" along the sides are fine as long as the corners are level and therefore do not twist the tank?
