Levelling aquarium stand

[Paul31733]

Hey everybody!

I am finishing the setup of my 60 gallon a.i.o.

My cabinet is not perfectly level.

Do you use wooden or composite shims to adjust this?

Would I just put them under the corners or underneath the whole frame?

Thanks for your advice.
Paul.

Ya I would use shims. Shim up the corner and then fill in any gaps along the bottom with smaller shims.

I prefers composite which wont compress a little like wood ones

I have ordered both wood and composite shims from Home Depot. I can't go into the store to look so I just ordered both . I will let you know how it goes!

Either or. Just shim it level, then fill in the gaps around the rest of the stand. The stand needs to distribute weight evenly to the floor.

Use composite, wood may absorb water if spilled.
I put my tank on the stand and then leveled by the tank rim.

Thanks everyone I shimmed the corners level with composite shims then filled in around the gaps with more composite shims.
