Question about aquarium stand being level

[wg666666]

First post guys and girls, so be gentle!!

Just set up my new 220 glass tank (new home for my 18" Jardini) and noticed that the concrete cellar flooor is not level. I read advice here and used big wood shims to get it close to even, shimming the front and 2 sides with the back totally on the concrete floor........after filling 1/2 way to check for leaks, I measured the level in the tank, and it was .4 inches off across the front (6-foot long, off level by 0.4') and 0.1 inch off from back to front. I also noticed that all the shims were tight now (as expected).....my question is, is there any problem with force/physics causing tank breakage/failure or is it not a big deal??

Thanks for your help!

get it as close as possible to level. slightly off wont cause a blown seam. but as i said try to get it very close. i used wood shims with great success.

^ Agreed. I used floor tiles...

.4" over 6 foot and .1 from front to back. I would call it good if it were one of my tanks.

i think ur set as long as all sides of the seams are placed on a even surface.
