Not trying to hijack the thread but I have a similar question regarding shims (the composite ones) on these feet? Will this be ok or to much pressure on the shim? My carpet is jacked and yes they are leveling feet but I didn't have enough thread.

If your floor is that uneven that there is not enough thread in the leveling feet to make it even, you may want to put the tank in a different location. I would not put a shim under the feet, but lets see what others think...

It's sitting in the ruts that the cadlight made to the carpet. I don't want to move it cause its a perfect spot I like. Plus its next to my desk so I can look at it while on my computer.

I used these same shims on my cadlight tank, but that didnt have feet. My other thought was removing all the feet and shims it?

So you have similar setup to mine? with the composite shims and leveling feet?

Just want to link this cause it might help you out

Makes it really easy to "jack" up your tank to get shims under there even when its full. Hope it helps.

Build Thread - One Man's Trash.. My Reefer 425XL

So about two weeks ago, I bought a Reefer 425xl pre-owned. The previous owner didn't have the time to take care of it so things got pretty ugly. Tons of salt creep and ALGAE. Here's a not-so-great picture of the tank below. I took the rock and a few fish with the tank. The fish are going...
