My stand and tank just arrived from being built and I have an issue that is keeping me up the past two nights. Tank isn't on the stand yet. The planned location will need to be shimmed to get the stand to a level position. There is a slight downward angle from one side to the other...very slight, but not completely level. The bottom of the stand isn't completely flat (intentionally), there is one flat 2x4 running across the middle and sets of 2" wide birch ribs every foot running the 8' length of the stand. Stand seems well built and level, but the floor panels just aren't all even. I can shim the entire perimeter of the tank (higher on one side to achieve level), but my concern would then be that certain ribs wouldn't be making full contact with the floor. I need some advice please!
