wobbly tank

[user_name]

Just set up my new tank on my stand and it has a slight corner to corner wobble. The gap is about the width of a credit card on the front left and back right corners. Is there any way I can shim the tank? Cardboard, paper or something? It is a glass bow-front 72gallon if that helps any.

You could put down a thin sheet of styrofoam. This should compress slightly to level the tank out as you fill it

I read on here not to use foam with a floating glass bottom tank.

Interesting. I have no problems with my floating glass bottom tank on styro.

I would not shim the tank, that is asking for heartbreak and a big mess.

from what I read they said something about the foam pushing up into the glass and causing it to crack. I just don't want to flood my apartment lol
