Stand leveling??

[Lovge]

Hi i need to make some adjustments to my aquarium stand. I have a factory stand for a BC29 and because my floor is uneven i need to make some adjustments to it. Can anyone give me some good heads up on what to use to shim it up a bit? I need to raise my front up around 1/4".

Thanx

Use either composite or wooden shims. Any hardware store should have them.

Thanks tradewinds i was thinking that but wasnt sure if they can bear the load.

They are loaded in compression, so no worries about failure. They may settle a bit (squash).

if the shims start to settle and your tank is out of level after a few months, you can empty your tank half way or a little more, and pick up one side and slide some more shims under it.. a 29g with no sump isnt' that heavy, especially when partially empty.

Just be careful you don't tip it too far and slide the tank right off the stand o.o

I prefer PLASTIC SHIMS when leveling a stand.
