Messed up a stand build

[SleepyCanadian]

A few months ago I got some lumber and desided to build a stand for a 50gal. After building it I got busy and put it away for a month till I could finish it. When I went back I found the stand had some shrinking on the purple colored wood in the pick below. It shrank length wise.
So can I use shims to fill the gaps. It's all glued and screwed.

If the green 2×4's are flush to the floor and level I think the stand will be ok to use.

If it were a larger tank I would say to replace the green boards, but since this stand is only going to hold a 50g tank just put some composite shims in and call it done.

Ok thanks

Purple boards are supporting the weight . any way you could replace them ?

Just realized I said Green in my other reply, I meant to say purple when I said to just shim them. Sorry brain and fingers are not on the same page some days lol

glued ands crewed for a 50? slap a piece of plywood on top and use it. you are fine for that weight.
