Hi all, picked up another tank recently second-hand.

Crystal Dynamics 100 gallon rimless starphire
eurobraced bottom
corner triangular seam guards

Upon inspection, it looked to be in fantastic shape, no scratches, and seals looked great. Once I took her home and put it on the stand I noticed that the tank sat a bit lower on the right side so I contacted CDA and they advised that I level the stand before filling and that I level the tank with a self leveling mat which they provided a link to.
Purchased the 1/2" mat, leveled the stand by leveling the floor beneath it and filled up the tank.
Inspected the tank once filled and found that the seams in the bottom look like they may have lifted a bit and the left corner still doesn't lay flat. I am awaiting a reply from CDA, but would like to hear your thoughts
