Wobbley stand but level

[fishkeeprian]

Hello I'm using a stock stand that was supplied with my tank. It has adjustable feet so you can level it off.

In the location where the tank will be homed the tank is all level front to back side to side but the stand does wobble. It's on laminate floor so i am assuming it's not level. When full I assume it probable won't wobble.

If I leave it as is will this be a problem?

Thanks

huh? it has adjustable feet.. How can it wobble?
Clearly a foot is not adjusted..

You do need to put some weight on it then set it all level.. The stand could just be racked some and the weight of a tank will really straighten it out and force the feet down..

If your out of adjustment you could get some plastic shims. As you fill it check for level.

laminate floors usually have padding under them so a stand and tank empty are going to wobble. they arent heavy enough (unless really huge) to crush the foam layer under the flooring.

as mentioned above start to fill it as the weight increases keep rechecking level and adjusting as you go. if the tank is small it may always have a wobble if it doesn't weigh enough to squish the padding under the floor and you may want to consider securing the stand to the wall once fill and level are achieved. with adjustable feet (I cringe at the thoughts of metal adjustable feet on a marine tank stand horrors of rust and foot collapse after years of use) but i digress, with adjustable feet to ensure they are all supporting the tank fully I generally try to pull a piece of dental floss under each foot if you can't on three but can on one of them the weight is not supported evenly. usually at that point on a fraction of a turn is need to snug them.
