DIY 180g tank stand concern

[ibryson]

Hey hobbyists! I recently built this stand for the 180g I'm setting up. I have one small concern. Hopefully you can see from the photos that there is a slight gap between the tank and the stand on one side. It's small, between 1/16th and 1/8 inch. All four corners have good contact with the stand so I hope I'm over thinking this. Think it's good or should I try to fix it?

Here's the front view. Gap is on the left side

I would fix it, that's just too much pressure in the middle that I wouldn't sleep well.

Absolutely not an issue at all..

it's a braced tank. you're fine. my 120 looked like that. been fine for over 10 years and counting

Just put a 1/4 piece of foam under the tank and it will be fine

NO foam under any tank with trim on the edges!

If you are really concerned. Stop by Home Depot and buy a plywood board about 1/2” thick and cut it to match the tank and place the tank on the board then on the stand. You could also pick up clack paint and paint the sides of the wood so it’s not noticeable.
