Level, side to side??

[prskiller]

I just set up my 125g AGA tank and it's sitting on a Oceanic stand that has a top. The tank is level front to back but the water level is 1/4" lower on the left side of the tank. My question is how critical is this? Should I drain and reset it or do you think it will be ok?

Most of mine are off left to right, I wouldnt worry about it unless the look drives U nuts.

I can raise the water to the black trim so not really worried about looks. I'm just wondering if this would cause a blow out?

1/4" side to side in a tank that long is NOTHING to be concerned about.

I'd try and level it just because I'm anal like that, but I think it should be fine. If it's really noticeable you can put some electric tape around the top of the glass to extend the rim so it doesn't look like crap.

Ok, that is good to know. Time to add the substrate. I was going to stick with a bare bottom tank but there is to much visible dung and I don't feel like cleaning it daily. BTW, tank stock is 7" oscar, 7" pleco, 3" pink convict, 4" blue acara and a 4" jag. Thanks for the info

Sounds like an unlevel floor to me, all of mine in the basment are off, but the tank is flat on the stand so it isn't under a strain due to twisting, it is just leaning with the angle of the floor.

Yeah I guess it is not level. My 75 was in the same spot but that 125 is pushing a lot more weight. I'll see how it goes for month. Hopefully it won't change.
