hello all , picked up a used 220g tank from a fellow MFK'er the stand that came with it was too large and not tall enough for my applicatoin . so i am in the process of building a stand . the area that the tank is going is the, what used to be a garage , we finished half of the garage and it is now my den/ fish room / family room ..... this will be built into a wall , kinda , just gonna cut a window into the family room
my problem is , not only is the floor not level , wich i was prepared for , it is not flat either ( see pics ) i allowed for leveling in the stand design. i am not sure how to deal with the floor not being flat i dont want to allow the tank to sag and stress it any more than the 1800 lbs of water . my plan is to put rigid styrofoam panel between the tank and stand ( at the recommendation of my buddy who owns the lfs ) this will help with any minor defects in the stand but i am not sure what to do about the gaps under the stand .
Any ideas / input will be greatly appreciated
