Hi Ned,
It probably wouldn't be a weekend if I didn't ask a question So, got the 40 gallon breeder in place, where I want it, stand and hood look awesome. My newest problem is that from the front of the pine cabinet to the back of the pine cabinet, there is about a 1/4 inch slope in my floor. The stand looks like it is making good contact on the ground all around but I'm a little concerned about it leaning back a small amount (even though its only 1/4 of an inch). The tank sits perfectly on the stand.
I'm wondering how worried I need to be about leveling the stand before putting the tank on it and filling it and if you have any suggestion on the best methods for something like this. I did notice if I put a 1/4 inch long shim under the back length of the stand, it raises it up and makes it perfectly level, but then I'm in a scenario where the two side panels do not touch the ground exactly. I could shim these but I'm not sure if I need complete contact or if shimming every few inches would work.
Any thoughts?
