xxkenny90xx Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) So I've had a 20g aio cube since December and it was never very level but I blamed that on my free to build diy thrown together in one hr 2x4 stand. Yesterday I upgraded to a one year old 30 something gallon bow front on a manufactured particle board stand (ugh don't get me started on particle board) and sure enough it is just as bad or worse. It's probably 1/4" or a hair more out front to back. A little investigating and of course it's the floor that isn't level. What my best coarse of action? I want to drain it 95%, lift it, and put some wood shims under it but lifting particle board with any weight on it terrifies me...

xmas_one Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Is it on carpet? Sometimes when the front is lower than the back it’s because the back is sitting on the tack strip they put down usually right close to the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I used wood shims for my 220 gal (empty of course). Didn’t really have to lift much, just had someone lean into the stand/tank a bit to get the shim started and hammered away. This is on carpet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxkenny90xx Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 It's on linoleum in my kitchen but that is a good thought. It's about a tack strip worth out of level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
