125 not perfectly level

[vr6fan]

I just set up my 125 and after it was full i noticed the water line is higher on one end..its very minimal maybe 1/8th in or about there but its bugging the crap out of me...should I be worried?

It will be fine. No worries.

With 1/8th inch, you don't need to worry.

Is your tank on foam, almost all of the manufactures of tanks say that then need to sit on like 1/2 to 3/4'' foam. This will help with them being not level, and if there is a high spot on the tank it can eventually lead to a leak because the majority of the pressure is on that high side of the tank.

Nope, wrong on both accounts. The low end is heavier so it will compress the foam more (it has more water in it).



...but in reality, the foam does not compress to an observable amount. The foam is just there to make up for poor workmanship in the stand.

the right side of my tank is about 1/2 inch lower than the left. you cant really tell unless you look very closely, and so far everything is good. i think it might be my stand or flooring
