Hey all,
I recently got a used 240 gallon with a steel frame stand. The previous owners had it on carpet but when I placed it in my basement which has concrete flooring the stand was wobbled sitting empty. The metal stand sits on a wooden board cut to size and there is Styrofoam between the tank and the stand, the wooden piece that the stand sits on does not wobble on the floor, only the metal stand. The people who helped me move the tank put cardboard to stop the wobble but the tank was slightly not leveled when I filled it up. I feel like the wobble would have resolved itself once the tank filled and got heavy. I'm thinking of removing the cardboard that is probably causing the uneven levels. I thought I'd ask the experts here for their thoughts? Thanks in advance!
