uneven floor question

comfort_racing · 07/11/2006, 07:18 AM

i put a level on my (empty) tank setup lastnight and it is uneven. it is leaning forward y about a 1/4 of an inch. what is a good way to shim this up or do i need to support the floor up a bit?

thanks,

chad

You can use shims on the sides where it is uneven.

Just to be clear, shim the sides of the stand, not the sides of the tank.

EDIT: Actually, it would probably be the front of the tank, wouldn't it.

I meant the side as the front. Definitely shim the stand, not the tank.

I have that sorta problem too, i just had to move the stand around a bit to get it level, its an old house, so you would see why.
