Tank Un-Level

[bayoupr]

Just set up a 180g acrylic, 72x24x24. Since yester after letting it set all night once I got sand,water and rockin it, the tank has settled 3/16" off front to back. Lenght wise it's level. Is this a concern with acrylic? I have always read that glass tanks are more critical because of the stress put on the seams when not level. Looking for some imput.

hope not because my 150 glass is about 3/16" or so off front to back

Honestly, I think that it is way overblown as far as risk. My 90 right now is about 1/4" off left to right, never a problem. I've never been able to dead level any tank I have had.I would just double check it a week or so to make sure it stays the same.

It's been two days now and this seems to be where it settled

I agree with Jim, in 30+ yrs Ive had alot of tanks set-up on carpet that have been off a little bit. If the stand is solid the tank will be fine.

I think a wave box would have more impact.

As long as the plane on the top of the stand is perfectly flat so there is no pressure on a part of the tank, I do not see it being an issue.
