Is smaller leveling mat with tank overhang safe?

[kingyking888]

Hi,

I bought a 40 gallon AIO rimless tank. It has 8mm thick glass. The 2 leveling mats are slight smaller, not cut correctly and not same size. So there is overhang from the tank.

Is this safe to proceed? The seller stated there is no issue.

I would think the leveling mat needs to cover all edges of the tank especially
where the edges of the silicon joints.

Thanks

I’ve never used a leveling mat but that does not look good to me.

No I wouldn't do that.
Why did you stack them. Don't do that either.
I would cut them to make one layer that fits and is joined somewhere in the middle of the tank.
