May look like its minuscule more to right but im sure if photo was taking from exact front would see both edges of bubble equal.its little bleary the bubble in top pic at left but can see edge of bubble but imo thats dang near perfect to me.
But to op good you so diligent asking for opinions as a little off at one end it gets multiplied more the more the length goes

If that's your reading along the the entire length and width then you're good.
Try to use at least a 4' level.
But that looks good as it stands!

I have a leveler actually 2 I'm using. And an app on my cell I used also. If the app is telling me 0,1- 0.2 I'm happy. Plus in some spots it reads 0.3 so the stand wood isn't leveled. Nothing I can do about that.

I mean to adjust the tank/stand so it's level. Are you using shims?

Yeah i read your thread about your 40 g just randomly busting,sorry that happenned to you but seemed you acted fast and didnt panic and got livestock in your 10 gallon tank i think it was and buckets or something?
Did you end up upgrading your tank to a bigger tank as i know someone suggested getting bigger tank and could see you was seriously thinking about it.hope everything went ok either way and didnt lose any fish or corals with the disaster you had as tank leaking must be close to being one of worse things that can happen but once again bravo for how you dealt with it ^_^

Also if any screws or anything in top of stand,check and double check that they are counter sunk and below the surface of the surface of stand that the aquarium will be resting on especially if not got a plastic rim around bottom of tank.
As head of a screw sticking up even a miniscule bit and glass on that or even the plastic rim,then this puts pressure on that part of tank and can fracture bottom glass as im sure you well aware and made sure nothing protuding upwards from top surface of sand but to check and double check always best practices.
And 2 years in the making,no one can say you rushing things ha ha,and gives you more time to research your livestock/ compatability/aquascape/quarantine/fallow/pests and anything else that will be beneficial for you and your fishy friends ^_^ to help you learn and have head start on any potential problems you run into ( if do have problems as you may have no major problems at all) so good luck and hope you get great enjoyment from your tank

Happy to help, Ask away.
I see that too, I call that a teener but might even be a 1/32nd

That’s pretty good over 7feet. Any better and I would suggest a better level like a Stabila or even a laser from PLS. Your within the accuracy tolerance of those levels, so it might actually be perfect but not displayed as such.

In my neck of the woods we'd call it a teenth.
