Tank Leveling Question! Help me Sleep Tonight!

Pyrogens · Aug 10, 2023

With how hot and dry it has been out here in Texas, and all the ground cracking/shifting, I randomly decided to check up on my tank levelness. When it was originally set up, it wasn't super perfect. I had a slight variation on the left side of the tank being off less than 1/8th of an inch from left to right and less than 1/8th of an inch on the left side of the tank front to back. 180G (72x24x24) on vinyl plank flooring, directly on concrete slab. Well, it almost looks like it may have shifted a little at some point? Or I could be crazy and not remembering if it was like this beforehand. Either way, just looking for some reassurance here if possible! What do ya'll think?

Based on the level, it looks like the front left is low. It's weird that the tank seems out of plane. I'd like to see front of tank left to right and back of tank left to right rather than center to confirm.

Can you see if the tank is making contact with the entire stand?

I honestly wouldn't lose sleep over this. 1/8" over 6 feet is minimal.
