[luvmylo]

eeeeek don't know what to tell you there.

[Wiskey]

Are you sure the tank is not sitting on anything? Like a BB or wood shavings, or nail ontop of the stand?

How unlevel is it?

nothing is thir at all i moved the tank with my nabor just now and checked !! its up 3 cm on the left back corner and if u put some pressure on it it goes down but the right front corner lifts up !!!! its up 3 cm across the back about 26 inchs this gap last for geting smaller and smaller till it hits the middle and every thing is strate siting on the stand ~!~ <~~~ agervated !!!!

Just go buy some 1/2" hard foam from the hardware store and lay it on top. Then build a trim ring around the tank and top of the stand to clean up the looks. I would then run a 3 day leak test in the garage. I can't tell if that is acrylic or glass, but if it's acrylic, it likely just warped a little and will flatten back out. But, any flat bottomed tank (without a trim or support ring), I place on the foam anyway

[gotnohaylo]

ok ....its a glass tank and this fom thing sounds like some thing i wont to do !!! any more info on this ? wonce its under thir i cover it with ? what ? also were do u get some thing like that ?

[gotnohaylo]

o and i have nothing to put over the holes yet becouse the tank has over flow holes and closed loop holes too so i havent done the test but willl do !!!is that foam expensive ?

[Hop]

It's just foam insulation that they sell at HD and lowes and stuff. It comes in 4X8 sheets and you just cut it to fit on top. It will help alleviate any high/low spots. I have it on my 190 and I had it on my 450. It's about $8 for a 4X8 sheet.

[gotnohaylo]

nice ! i was so worryed sence i saw that thing feel a little better now do i put it in that one spot or the hole tank sits on that?

[Hop]

Under the whole tank. Let me see if I can find a pic of mine. I'm not sure I took a picture of it before putting the tank on it.
