IM nuvo 30L aio not quite level

[smilinteddy]

At what water volume is perfect level necessary and not just aesthetic?

My 30L is a bit out of level from side to side. (It's the floor). The stand is setting firm (five rubber feet under the stand) and the aquarium is level front to back, so I'm not worried about twisting. There is also a leveling mat under the tank.

Do I need to worry about it? Tear everything down and try to get everything perfectly level? With a bubble level the bubble is still within the lines (I know that probably doesn't mean much) but the water level discrepancy at each end is noticeable.

If its that minimal can you use wooden shims under the rubber feet?

I dont think for 30 gallons it will much matter other than aesthetics.

That much won't be an issue, my E260 is off by a 1/16th. Remember physics, "liquid in a container will exert equal pressure upon all sides no matter the orientation".

That gives me peace of mind, thanks!
