Hello All,
First time posting, long time viewer! I’m getting back into the aquarium hobby after a bit of a long hiatus. I’ve kept a numerous number of freshwater fish, community fish, cichlids, discus, peacock bass, and even some freshwater stingray. The biggest tank I’ve had until now was 55, yes, I know 55 wasn’t big enough to house fully grown fish like the stingray and peacock bass, but wild always get rid of them before they outgrew the tank (had a good relationship with local fish store).
Anyway, I’m getting back into the hobby now and currentl have a 55 gallon setup with some peacock cichlids. I recently aquatic two more aquariums, a 120 gallon and 90 gallon. The question I have, or opinions I’m looking for regards the 90 gallon. It did not come with a stand and built one myself with left over would from previous projects. When I place the tank on he stand, although it looks as it it contacts the hole stand, it doesn’t come into full contact around the entire perimeter. There are some spots, I can fit a piece of loose leaf paper in between. So we’re not talking a lot of space but some. I would like people opinions and experiences pertaining to this situation. I was young when I was last into the hobby and didn’t really pay attention to stuff like this, but maybe now that I’m older, I’m starting to pay more attention to detail. Anyway, do you think I’ll be ok with a small paper gap in spots, or will this level out when filled with water?
Stand is just a norma diy stand you normally see with 3/4” ply on top. Again am I being paranoid or is this really a concern. I’ve searched the lovey web, but no one I’ve come across mentions anything about this small of gap, or maybe I’m not looking hard enough.
