Tank tilting with foundation!

[STH53]

Hey, My 240 gal sps reef is now tilting across it's 6' length by 1/4" or a little more. I live in Houston, Tx. and this is not unusual for the foundations to shift. Has anyone had this experience? Do I need to worry about tank failure since it is all glass?

Thanks, Stan

I can't imagine a 1/4 being a problem. I know this guy who lives in a trailer with a 180. From summer to winter his tank sways front to back 5 inches or more.

Maybe you could shim it or the floor.

So, the guy's family only travels twice a year? :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist.

1/4 inch I wouldn't think would be much at all. I've seen worse. I noticed you are in Houston. I'm at the HP conference here downtown at the Hilton Americas and wondering if there are any good LFS stores to hit that have a nice variety of SPS?
