I wanted to ask for my 720 the fish tank is 1/4 inch off the width since my house slopes a little.

Is that make able or will I have issues or should I take care of the problem?

Advice from the legends will be appreciated greatly!

Door frame shims work good. You just need to use a lot to support it right, but the're cheep.
 
Definitely shim it. I would use the composite shims. I was nervous about those crappy wooden shims with that kind of weight. I was so paranoid because my floor is so wavy, that I ran plastic across part of my room, brought my welder into the house and set up a fan then welded angle to the stand once I leveled it with wood shims. I was probably over doing it but your talking over 3 tons on that stand
 
Ezshim.com these are load bearing plastic shims. I use these all the time they are great. The grooves makes it easy to snap of the excess that is sticking out. uploadfromtaptalk1381192359320.jpguploadfromtaptalk1381192347434.jpg

So guys My plan to leave it alone is not an option? I would hate to have to drain the tank at this time since i am close to moving my Armatus!

I realized that the stand has steel spacers with bolts for making it higher or lower so this is not gonna be an issue. Wondering if I would have to take the water out before I mess with the bolts. Seems like I can lower very slow in the front by turning the bolt and having a jack for support.

Thanks so much guys your the best!
