Hello; Good luck. have you added any water to the tank to see if the weight might settle the stand some?

Foam? Rubber Matt's?

How big is the tank?

I would'nt shim the tank. Maybe shim the stand but not the tank.

Have you used these? I was always skeptical that they level to a large degree. A lot of people appear to use them.

Moved it back to the original stand.
Appears the top brace is off.

Yellow level is in the tank and looks to be spot on.

This one is on the too brace

U dont like rubber matts or foam uner glass tanks. Eventually it has to compress and press against the bottom pane
