Bottom of Tank is Bowed
I just finished the stand for my 75 gal AGA. The top of the stand where the tank sits is flat and level. The bottom of the tank trim has a slight gap where it sits on the plywood at the back. The gap is between 1/32" to 1/16" and is about 30" long. Is this something I should be concerned about or will it fix itself when water is added?

I am no expert at this but I would think that the tank is fine and that the problem is with the stand. you sure there is no sag in the stand top maybe missing a center brace or something? on the other hand I would do a trial run with hose water and check the level of the tank with water in it and see if the gap closes and if its level I would say leave it

I read on this sight somewhere that you can put a piece of styrofoam between the tank and stand to help with this problem. Search styrofoam on Reefcentral. Found some interesting reading.

i thought the foam was for under acrylic tanks
|
is the tank new or old ?if it is used maybe it took the shape of the old stand
|
correct you don't want to put foam under a glass tank as it can create pressure points. unless you put it only where it meets the trim and not the glass.
