Level Thy Stand!

LOL! I got the new nano setup where I want it, but the floor isnt level. What can I use to shim it? Thin piece of styrofoam?

Trying to level my 90g and not sure how to do that. Though getting that set up may be a problem, Stacey and I seperated.

Wood shims, unless the level is way off. I shimmed a 240g tank/stand in that manner. The concrete was at a slight angle. I should have shimmer my old 180g, but i was lazy and I suffered for it. My right side overflow didn't do as much work as the left side.

kalelin38: Your wife separated from you because of a tank??

Sorry about that Rob. I hope things work out for you.

I have concrete sub-floors and think they have sagged some over the last 100yrs, lol.

Hey Rob and Stacey sorry to here about your trouble. Josh they make plastic shims for installing toilets if your worried about wood shims getting wet.

I'll have to hit Menards today.

I had to use a whole pack of tiolet shims to get it level

 

[Beaner3]

Did you fill it yet?

 

[Eel-byte]

Not yet, the wife is a little concerned about setting up a new tank right now. I still have to take some measurements for that sump I talked to you about. Hopefully the next day or so I'll get them to you.

 

[kalelin38]

Josh if you need any help or want some to comeover and stare at the empty tanks let me now.

Cool! let me know,...I'm finishing up Frank's beast tank this weekend so I'll have an open table. Love to see your idea for a sump.
