I have been trying to get my reefer 425xl leveled and was wondering how level is level? Should I be a perfectionist and get it as perfect as possible? Or is this ok enough?

I know some will insist it be absolutely perfect, and while preferable, that wouldn't bother me. My RSR has settled over the years and is about a 1/8" off front to back. I contacted red sea about it and they said it's nothing to worry about.
 
You're probably fine, if level is accurate.
Being a carpenter w/ an eye I do shoot for perfection myself, but not like an 1/8" out in say a 4 foot run or whatever you have there is going to put any stress or anything.
I'd leak test and look at waterline and check level midway while filling.

Thanks for the reply! I feel like I’ve been messing with the leveling feet constantly to try and get it perfect. It is now a little bit better than this picture.
 
The nice thing is I can get to all but one leveling foot when the tank is full.

If that's the case I'd start w/ the one you can't reach and make it ever so slightly taller, then hit the 3 you can reach to match that level
 
Perfect is the goal and re-check twice a year as i do or stress on the glass structure can become a leaker
