May be a crazy question just want some input to be safe. I have a 55 gallon aquarium and i just moved it to my house if i hit into the tank fairly hard is wobbles a lil; doesnt move just a little wobble and it has to be pushed farely hard. Is this normal or is this something I can fix.
Need some urgent help

Might have to shim it up. put a level on it and see if it is level if it isn't then buy some shims or move the tank, drained of course. Good luck and be *real* careful.
the stand doesnt move its just the tank like if you push the top it moves a lil but doesnt move after you let go
I guess the brain dead question is if you push the tank a bit not to hard but not soft it will move even with 55 gallons of water correct? or should it not even budge?
One of your shims is insufficient. the wobble is coming from a gap in the leveling of your tank. If the tank is level, try working a thin shim under each leg (or at the corners of a solid-bottom stand). If no gap is found, slowly "wobble" the tank to check for the fulcrum (center) of the movement. You could have an uneven center stand beam or an uneven board in the floor the tank is on causing a 'see-saw' effect.
