New 300G Setup

[DThompson]

For some reason that tank looks bigger than 300g. What are the dimensions?

What is level enough? I took this before I got the tank on the stand.



And this is with the tank on the stand.


Glued up to this point. I want to take this part super slow so I get it right. Also fixing shingles that get blown off your roof is no fun.

My tank is 78" long and the bubble in my level looked the same as yours, right on the edge of being within the lines. But span that across 78" (in your case 96") and that ends up being 1/2" to 1" of water level difference at each end of the tank.

Ouch that seems like quite a bit more weight on the low end. Did you end up shim'ing or leaving it as is?

 

[DThompson]

I shimmed one end to get it pretty close to level, but even with the 1/4" shims all the way in on 1 end, it still didn't quite get it perfect. But you can only tell if you look closely at the water level.

A few updates. Got my emergency line all glued and my light defuse plastic added. The sliders under the tank are temporary until i can get the tank put into place. I also plan on shimming some so they will make it easier to get the shims in.
Still have to add the support for the pvc down here.

Nice work! I thought glass cages were tempered glass, but apparently not.
