how to level a 180?

I'm going crazy reading all the advice online about to level or not to level, and how much to worry about as far as how level it should be...and how to do it?

My 180 is tilting forward about 1" and off by about 1/2" down the 6' length of the tank.

I was planning to take the tank off the stand, shim the stand until it's level, then put styrofoam (or something similar) where the base of the tank sits and then replace the tank back onto the stand.

Is this the wrong way to go about it? I've heard good & bad about styrofoam, the tank is AGA, don't know if that matters.
 
I would just shim the stand only. The styrofoam is not a good idea as it will create pressure on the bottom glass down the road.
