You said earlier that when you held a square to the bottom corner of the tank it had a 1/16" gap... I would think this would make a good picture to represent the issue...
Plastim rim on aquarium bottom uneven?

you may need a digital camera with a 'macro' feature on it that allows you to take close up pics clearly.
I assume with a full tank shot we won't be able to see the problem?
basically, the tank is supported in the middle but NOT the corners/ends right?
this is, as far as I understand it, not a good situation, particularly if they are saying that their particular tank must have all 4 sides evenly supported otherwise breakage could occur..

You would think so, but It doesnt look like much of anything when I take a picture. I tried taking a picture with it on the stand, and I can clearly see the gaps, but once I take a picture it just looks like a tank sitting normally on a stand.

Correct, the tank touches the stand just in the middle on the long sides, and not anywhere else.
I am sure the stand is flat and level, as flat and level as anything is going to get. I just checked it a again and if I put a 6' level on the long sides I cannot get a piece of paper between the level and stand anywhere, same thing on the short sides.
it definately sounds like we are trying to put a curved bottom tank on a flat level stand..
not sure if there is a way to fix this without getting a new tank that has a flat bottom.
foam wont do anything to help.
neither will plywood etc.

I never would have even noticed the problem or worried about it if it wasnt for MFK, lol. Ignorance is bliss, and possible a living room full of water lol.
