180 not level on stand

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How do you know that its not just some defection in the bottom trim of the tank and that it will flatten out when full of water. If the floor is level, and the stand is level, and everything is shimmed appropriately fill the tank and see what happens.

I seriously doubt the LFS inspects every tank and stand that comes into the store with that much detail. When I bought my new 180 and stand the tank was still wrapped in cardboard and shrink wrap which would of made it impossible to tell if there was a gap between the tank and the stand. Unless i wanted to unbox and unpack everything in their showroom.
 
i too have an 180 gallon tank and the floor is not level. floor is about 1/2 inch lower in the front.

my stand legs are about 3 inches wide and most of the shims i found are about 1 inch wide.
i thought of using 2 shims per leg but i feel its dangerous

so where can i find a shim thats 1/2" inch thick and wider that 3 inches ?
