Reef tank not fully level - is this okay?

[SlickDealPro]

Hey reefers,

I recently moved my reef tank and upon setting it up at my new place I noticed the waterline was not completely level. It’s really hard to notice unless I get within a foot or two of the tank, but the water level on the back side sits 1” under the glass where as the water level on the front side of the tank sits 0.5” under the glass.

I have a strong feeling I’m going to have to empty and readjust the feet, but just curious as to how long it would take until I started seeing the negative effects of this if any? Is it extremely urgent for me to empty it and fix it now?

Being a rimless tank I’d me more concerned than if it had a rim.

It's not ideal but it's not going to explode in the short term IMO. Don't leave it for a year.

Well that was fast.

While I can’t give a definite timeline, I’d fix it sooner vs later. The amount of added pressure to the front pane I would think is fairly significant with how unlevel it is

We're like peas and carrots.

Wow, you guys are on top of it tonight.

As long as I’m peas. I’m not a fan of carrots

Nice display btw. If you got a big tote ( like those 102L ones from Costco), you could drain it half way down, level it and fill it back up in less than an hour.
