I haven't set up the tank yet.(no water in it) But i measured the back and the front of the tank to see if it level .There are 1/4 inch different Back side is 51 3/4. Front is 52 . Would it be ok ? Or something i can do to level it? Tank is acrylic 125 gals.
Thanks
 
If the top of the front, back and sides are uneven heights and it holds water you should be fine. You just won't be able to keep a canopy on it level. If the whole thing is not square, then I would not use it. You would risk uneven pressure in the the seals and eventually it will leak.
 
It is essential that the tank sit flat on the stand... it doesn't matter one bit if the tank is level...

Many people do not acknowledge the difference between flat and level and miscommunicate or misinform people on this detail...
 
As my other thread mentioned . There is a tiny gap between the tank and stand as well. So now i have a tank not sit flat on the stand and the high of the front and back also 1/4 inch different. But i got a sheet of 3/4 inch styrofoam this morning .So the tank is sit flat now.
