I'm setting up a 120 gallon aquarium, and in this process I've noticed that there's a very slight grade in my floor such that the water level is around 3/16" higher on one end of the tank compared to the other. From what I've read, such a small deviation in one direction is not an issue when it comes to the tank's structural integrity, but my tank is set up with dual "mega-flow" style overflows, which I understand will not work properly if they are even slightly unlevel.
I've previously leveled tanks using shims spaced a few inches apart, however for such a large tank with a continuous load bearing running along the bottom, my first instinct would be to shim all the way around the stand's edges such that there aren't any, and to use composite shims rather than normal wood shims. Would this be an appropriate course of action?
