well i got my 300 in and setup, but its not level :( so now the over flows are not working equally. so i need some opinions on how to level it out. im goin to drain it and all that but what can i put under it to level it?
should i make a wood shim or somethin? or use that blue foam board or what?
need assistance from the experts
 
Use wood shims, but under the stand, NOT under the tank!
 
its on tile. whats osb board?
so do i need to make it like a ramp or just shove a piece on one side?
it has fiber board under the tank to absorb keep the pressure even on the bottom.
this tank is crazy heavy. it takes 4 guys to lift it empty. so what ever im goin to do needs to be planned out and done right bc i want it to work right and not have any issues. im already scared of it. if it wasnt a new tank i would be terrified lol
 
osb board is oriental strand board. The same board used on roofs(they get shingled over). All I did was cut a piece and placed it under the stand where it was low. You may have to experiment with the thickness and length of your shim until you are happy with it.

Good luck,
Chris
 
thanks guys. hopefully this works. so do i put a piece under each support? or a few pieces all around the low side?
