cause for concern

[derick75]

Ive had my 75 AGA for about 9 months and I noticed the glass in the front left corner of the tank is protruding out about 1/8th inch. i dont know if it came like this new or not but it has been bothering me for some time. My wood floors are terribly out of balance and i had to shim one side over 2inches higher then the others. When i checked the level of the tank today i noticed the side that was protruding was off very slightly..is this somethin gI need to correct? Or could the glass be slightly out of whack from the factory?

I'd worry. It may require releveling, which means draining the tank and emptying rock, which means at least a very small cycle. The longer that persists, the more chance it will give way catastrophically. THat's my opinion. I'd wait for others.

I'd fix it.
RIGHT NOW!
Glass is not very forgiving, and silicone has no shear strength.

Same, get to it before worrying is the least of your problems.

good luck

This sounds bad........very.......VERY bad!!

thats what i thought, i bought a 4 foot level and it is 1/8th inch off over a 4 foot span on the left side all other sides are dead nuts. I dont think that is bad. When the water is drained you cant see a difference. I will drain the tank again, just did it a month ago to cure valonia. There must be people out there whos tank is off more then a 8th of a inch why do i get all the crap luck:(

Can't you just lift the corner of the stand with the aquarium full? Use a large pry bar with some wood boards for protection of your wood floor and the stand. Might need a second person to slide a plastic shim or two under the left corner of the stand as you elevate the stand. I'd do it right away as the others have said.

I wouldn't have bought a AGA. They are notorious for flaws. I have Oceanic and is off 1/8 over 3 ft and have not had a single bit of problems. I shimmed up the stand to level the stand. I would rather have a stand failure than a tank failure.
