I have a 6' 135g on a wooden stand. It has 50g of water and 300lb of substrate in it now. The front of the tank is compressing the foam layer by about 1/32" all along and so is the middle of the back but about 12" from each corner on the back, the foam has about 1/16" of wiggle room. This extends for a few inches around the tank ends at the back.

Is this OK? Will it settle after I have all the water in? If I shim just the back tank corners will the wooden stand conform and be straight?
