Im so scared right now!!

My fish room is a old porch and was built with BIG stone rocks. The stones are causing my plywood to be unlevel, so I have been playing with it for two days. I had no problem leveling the 90 or the 55 but the 180 ACRYLIC is kicking my butt.

Im already mad cause I feel like I got PIMPED. Its my fault tho cause I didnt really know how much work it was going to take to get the stupid tank up and running.

Im scared cause I didnt get it perfectly level and at the moment im seatting here listening to the pump(1800 GPH) do its thing. Its a alittle off both ways.

Im I being to paraniod??

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

If you are really worried about it not being perfectly level, you should be. It would be a very expencive lesson learned if something went wrong, like a cracked or leaking tank. IMO, I wouldn't take a chance on a tank not being perfectly level. Sooner or later it will happen.

Bite the bullet.
Level the tank and feel better.

Thanks Kaiser. You said it better in fewer word than I did. I guess peace of mind is important. I forgot about that.

Thanks guys!!

I drained about 80% of it and my boy is going to come over and help me get it right tonight.
This tank thing is starting to get on my nerves. First I tried to buff it a bit but had very little success. Then I leveled the board and the tank wouldnt fit, so for the second time in one night I had to drain/move the 55g. Then I gave up for the night and in the morning I went out and brought all the plumbing supplies and the pump.

To get to the point I got PIMPED on this tank.

Lessen Learned: Acrylic is like a luxury car, if its not brand new or well taken care of. Get ready for the ride cause its going to be a bumpy one. The weight factor I love but the stratches are the worst!! I really throught I was going to beable to bring it back like new(dummy)!
