Looking for the best way to go about leveling my 475. Tank is 102 long, 36 high and 30 wide. Should i level the stand or the tank when it's on the stand. This thing is HEAVY how should i do it??
 
I would level the stand but plan on leveling the stand and the tank also. I rigged a jack with plywood and used shims from Lowes.

After I filled the tank there was some setling. Believe it or not, I was able to jack the stand and tank again and finish the job without draining all the water. This was on a 220 gallon tank. The LFS thought I was nuts but it worked well.
 
Id make sure the stand is level to begin with. What type of floor is the tank going on? they make all types of fillers for leveling. I wouldn't jack up a full tank if my life depended on it
