I am setting up a new 75 gallon tank in my apartment. I am on the 4th floor of the apartment so I want to make sure I do everything right. I have setup the tank in the corner of the room. The tank is stable (no rocking) but is not perfectly level. The tank is mostly level but the one corner is off a bit. I have attached a picture showing what the level shows. Just wondering if this would be a problem.

I am not overly worried about being on the 4th floor in an apartment as the building is a steel framed building with cement floors. I have also positioned the tank in a corner by a load bearing wall and will be across multiple support beams.

Just want to know if I should try to even out the tank more.

I would go to a hardware store and get one of those little plastic wedge shaped shims. Your tank isn't that far off level, and should be fine as is though. I get mine as close to level as possible because when the water line drops below the trim it drives me nuts if it isn't even.
