I recently bought a new 24 inch cube tank (60 gallons) with a custom stand and canopy. I set it up and filled it with water only to find that the water at the back of the tank was about 3mm higher than the water level at the front of the tank.
Visually, it doesn't bother me since when the canopy is on the tank you can't see it, but will it compromise the stability of my tank or put extra stress on the seams? The tank and stand are on carpet, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
The setup seems very sturdy and doesn't rock at all. The stand is made out of solid wood (no particle board, etc). Can I go ahead and fill the tank and just use it, or am I risking my tank breaking?
Thanks,
Katie

I feel much better now. The tank sits flat on the stand. I think my floor is a tiny bit slanted, that's all. I'll go ahead and get the tank set up tomorrow. Thanks guys!
