Sump on uneven floor?? Help!

GuOD · 07/12/2007, 10:01 AM

Hi All,

I'm about to put my 120g sump on the floor in my storage room. Unfortunately the floor is pretty uneven. What should I do so the tank doesn't break? Will it be ok on the uneven floor?

Thanks!

I'd get some 2x4s on edge and plywood and make a mini-floor-stand. Shim it level and you should be in business. Uneven floors are bad for rigid tanks.

I was going to say exactly what theatrus said, make a short stand and shim it level. Cheap, easy, problem solved.
