Well, think of it like this. IF you think you've gotten water under your tank rim, try setting the tank [temporarily] on giant moving glides, enough of them to be sure it's not stressed, then use thin piece of paper toweling to see if you wick out any water. If you don't, stop worrying, and just think of your tank as about the equivalent of a refrigerator sitting there---or four stout friends conversing at a cocktail party. It's not the weight of the tank usually: it's the stand having 'stiletto heel' type contact points, not spreading its weight out properly.

To get a stand on glides, temporarily, or to correct a tilt with shims, have strong person in tennies push slowly and gently against the tank while partner slides shim or glide under stand rim. To remove, do same and pull them out quickly.
