tank set up question

[sailfinreef]

well this one might sound a bit stupid but i plan on putting a 125g in my basement the issue is that in a 2 foot span level is off 1/4". what should i use to shim the stand or should a build a platform for it to sit on? length wise is level but the width of the tank is on a slope. any ideas would be appriciated

I got some heavy duty adjustable feet from Rockler on transit. My floor isn't level at all but this seems to have worked fine but the center of gravity on the stand is very high and it will rock just a bit if i touch it. I'm not sure if having a few more adjustable feet would have helped. These are adjustable with an alan wrench too so adjusting it was overall pretty easy even when the tank was full of water and the floor resettled.

I am not sure I should trust a couple thousand lbs on adjustable feet. I will look into them and see what they are rated for. anyone else have this problem and how did you solve it?

bump this up. do you guys think wood shims would work for this. im hoping for some input on the best way to set this up.

Wood shims.

thank you, that seemed the most obvious to me but i think i over thought it. My last tank was a 90g reef ready and was put on a level surface. so there was no need to shim anything. I have heard of people shimming the tank on the stand but that did not sit well to me. I feel i should level the stand. again any other ideas are appreciated but for now I am going with my reiterated initial hunch.
