Do i need to Shim...?

[uvijaya]

Thanks, totally makes sense, and i will leave the foam be. I will shim it and take pics tonight and post on it.

BTW, should i remove the 5-6" of water in the tank before shimming or i can shim it with the water?


Thanks

once you shim the back it will leave a void on the sides. imagine puting a pencil under one edge of a peice of cardboard. One edge will be on the ground and one will be on the pencil, the rest of the cardboard will be suspended between the two. Same goes for your stand when you shim the back. As stated earlier, the load from your tank is carried down through the perimeter of the stand so you souldnt need to shim any more than the back and the 2 side edges.

I think i will shim it with the water as it will be easy for me to know the level.
