Leveling my new 125

[BillV87]

I purchased a 125 gallon tank yesterday. I'm putting it in my living room, on carpet sadly, and it is currently sitting 1/4 inch off level across the front of it. Just wondering what suggestions people have about leveling it. Should I just shim the corners or the entire front length? Any advice is much appreciated.

Are you placing the tank directly on the carpet ? Or is there a stand??

The tank is on a stand

Welcome aboard
Shims can be placed under front of stand.

I suggest moving tank and stand up a little just to see if it will make a difference.

Up like farther away from the wall?

Yes

Ok cool. I'll try that first and if that doesn't correct it I'll shim the corners. Thanks.

Just an idea, could you place the stand of the tank directly on the floor and shim it on there? The carpet can compress over time.
