Tank 1/4" off level and feet for reefer?

[Keesers]

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I ended up taking 15 gallons out of the tank and using an air-shim to level it. 1/4 inch stock wood for the entire back row and standard wood shims for the side to make sure they had contact with the floor. This tool also allowed me to get the remaining feet under the tank. Level to +/- 1/16"confidence now!

Seriously, that air shim is awesome. Made everything so easy.

Can you post a picture or link may be helpful for other reefers. Thanks happy reefing

Did you use a level to check on all sides and the middle? Make sure all the panels and boards are still perfectly aligned. The setup needs to be dead perfect everywhere otherwise it will fail and water will be on the floor.

Used a ruler and went around the full perimeter of the tank making sure the water level was equal with respect to the bottom of the glass. Noticed only +/- 1/16” deviance.
