So- just finished building a stand out of 4x4"s and 2x4"s for my (brand 'spankin new) 90g aga: Is there any wiggle room at all beyond the tank being absolutely dead level?

The bubbles in the level are within the lines, but just a smidgeon close to one side. Any preferences for shim material? Thanks very much!

for your use = hobby shops have balsa wood, you can use a pocket knife to cut it to the shape/size you need

get it as absolutly level as you can right now cuz after you fill it you will never want to drain it to relevel

lets just shim this on up to the 6th floor where all the reef nerds hang out ..

id say shim make it as level as possible you will thank yourself later on and for the 10Cents for a shim why not

For my 110 I found some plastic composite shims at our local hardware store.

And exactly where are the pics of this alleged stand? Hmmmmmm???

Ha! They're coming. I've been so tickled to actually have a tank again it slipped my mind!
