Have a Waterbox Cube 10 that is going to sit on a breakfast bar where it is slightly pitched forward level-wise. I can't level the actual breakfast bar but I have a piece of 3/4" plywood the cube was sitting on elsewhere and am thinking I could shim the plywood to level the cube that way.

Is this a bad idea for any pressure points, etc. or is leveling some plywood a tank sits on considered an acceptable solution?

Thanks!

Hello, not large amount of water, so would think leveling plywood okay.

One tip is not just a single shim, but shim entire length so there isn't a pressure point on plywood. Given its small tank, may not matter like larger heavier tank, stand and canopy, but my recommendation is shim entire length
