Thread: Leveled Stand ?

  1. #1

    Default Leveled Stand ?

    I sold my 180 gallon aquarium to my Cousin and I was helping him set it up in his house which has Tile and noticed that the stand doesnt appear to be touching all of the floor, seems like some of the tile is higher or lower then other parts.

    I'm a little concerned about this, what do you guys think should I just leave it like this or should I put a mat or something below it ?

    Thanks.

    If there are just a couple little spots I wouldn't worry. If they are spots more than 5-6 inches you can put shims under it. I usually put a mat under the tank anyway and a plastic barrier for those little spills.

    I agree with Tim. Your looking at better than one ton in 14 to 18 sq ft.
    I would make the stand level and plum. Cedar shims are availavle at your local hardware store.
