Diy stand 20g long question

[czwannabe]

View attachment 280339Aight so I'm finally getting back into the hobby long story short I built myself a stand for my 20g long aio set up and the tank fits good and looks great but isn't 100% flat on top of the stand will the rim of the tank work itself out once I get water in it or should I put a foam board under it... Any suggestions??

I took a better picture, that gap is only on the one corner. At the corner I can squeeze a penny in however the side gets closer to a 1/4 of an inch

I would not leave it that way, a stand must be flat. Possibly you could place a piece of plywood under the tank that was shimmed level and flat, and then put some kind of trim around it to hide the plywood edges.

Stand looks great!

Get out the belt sander, make it flat, and refinish it. (sorry.)

Im thinking about putting down a cork board then placing the tank on that or maybe a flat piece of plywood that matches the tank outline

Put some kind of textile mat underneath the tank.
