Unlevel 125 Gallon Questions (I NEED YOUR ADVICE!!!)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
so I went through with the whole leveling process. Shimmed the tank in about an hour this afternoon and kept using a level to make sure it was right on during the filling process. Left to right its perfect, front to back its slightly tilted forward but I think it will settle down a bit since the shims are in the back. Overall I am so glad that I redid the whole thing from emptying it out completely, removing all of the sand and then putting everything back in again:)!!!
 
Don't forget the check the diagonal level. That is the most critical measurement and what really took the most time for me to lock in. If you are not diagonally level you are applying a twisting force to the tank.

I used a 4' long level to check mine.
 
haha my 360 (8ft long ) has 1" difference left right AFTER shim.... prolly not the best idea, but seems like its doing fine :P
