uneaven tank

[gspille]

Zilch, zip, zero. If anyone would like to provide the math showing otherwise, I would be more than happy to punch holes in it.

The tank is on a stable and flat base. That is what is important. Being out of level is very insignificant as far as stresses and strains are involved.

I doubt that I even own a level tank. I'm not anal enough to even bother looking twice. I fill them so the water line is hidden by the trim or hood, and then never give it a second thought. I know my 250g and 75g are both out of level.

He's dead on!

As long as it is'nt twisted bad it should be fine. I've found that the smaller tanks will leak over time.

ok . well. i decided to go on the first sugestions of level it up ( before i saw the later posts , but thanks very much for the comments makes me feel better about my other tank at least ) but at least i will be happier and it wont anoy me forever by being uneaven . so ive stuck some boarding under the back to raise it up a little the water level is spot on and the main support areas of the stand are in contact with the floor ( no gaps under the main suport areas )

theres a scary amount of potential water for the tank and since ive not had such a large tank built especially before im concerned that the joints are still a milky color . its aparently been stood for about 4 weeks or so and the guy said it was fine to fill . but id rather double check .

should i give it more time to dry out or will it be ok . ( wife will kill me if i destroy the new carpet its sat on with the water going everywhere )
