Not level

[erniro]

Hi guys, I need a little help with my new setup.

I setup my 75 gallon tank and stand. I don't have anything in it right now except about 6 gallons of water. I wanted to add some weight to see it was level or not since its on carpet. Front to back on both sides is level, but the left side is way lower than the right side. This is an olllldddd house and it's obviously the floor that isn't level.

How should I go about fixing this problem? Do I just add some shims to the left side? And if so, how should I do it?

We have a 125 that is in an old house and it is lower on the left, has been for 7 years. As long as it sits across the joists it has enough support. You're going to get replies that will tell you how to level. 75g is not a very big tank. Exactly how bad the floor level is, is the question. You can hardly tell our 125 is leaning.

Yea just shim it i use cedar and composite shims.. just shim under the structural support do the end and any other upright supports. if its a plywood or mdf stand i would shim most of the way around the tank..

Its quite simple..

Just be sure the floor is not sagging when you fill up the tank but as said that tank is not super large
