Long story short - built a new 350, was level with the glass on the stand, lost it's level when filled with water. It's very slightly off level with a downward slope from right to left. The end result is a water level difference of about 1/4" from the left pane versus the right pane. I don't see anyway of fixing this without draining the entire tank. I moved nitrate rocks, live rocks and other mature components from a running tank so I put live stock in immediately (and a healthy dose of Dr. Tims). I'd really rather not subject the livestock and coral to another move around so soon...

Is the tank safe just staying like this? If not, any ideas on how to level it without draining it?
 
Is it the tank/stand or the floor that settled with the weight? Any gaps between tank and stand?
