Hello all I am new to this forum but not to this hobby.
Forgive me if i posted this in the wrong forum.
I have been out of the game for a few years and have decided to get back into saltwater. Anyhow, I got my tank delivered this weekend and put it in place. It was over 1/4 Inch out of level on the face, and about 1/4 Inch out of level from front to back. I shimmed it all out with wood shims and on the side, I used a piece of 1/4 Inch Solid pine. My question is, does this look like it is going to hold all the weight of a 90G reef Tank? In the basement the tank is sitting on a 2 X 12 Stud in the center of the tank (running parallel) one corner is on 4 2X 10 Studs that hold up the rest of the house (Supported by beams in the basement) and the other corner is sitting on a 2000LB Floor jack that goes into the concrete in the basement. The back of the tank is sitting on a 2 X 10 that sits on the concrete garage floor. Do you think I will be OK??
Here is a picture of how I spaced out the shims. I will make a matching oak "skirt" to cover up the shims Please post any opinions on the shims. Thanks for looking.
