tank leveling dilemma

I am setting up a Marineland Deep Dimension tank 200 gal-The dimensions are 48x36x27H. Before filling, the tank was level.
Once filled with water and sand it is off across back of tank by about an 1/8th of an inch.
Is this a problem? Do you think I need to drain and empty and relevel?
Any advise appreciated.
 
Is it sitting on carpet? If so then I'm not so sure that I'd be too concerned about it. Most likely it will settle over time.
 
Not being the gambling type I'd drain it down and investigate. You could try playing with the shims though and see if that works out. An 1/8th might not be too hard to make up.
 
I called perfecto and they told me its not an issue as long as it is seated in the stand correctly, which it seems to be.
I also got a second opinion from aqueon and they said the same thing.
