So I just ordered my Im Nuvo 25 lagoon just picked up my stand waiting on the tank to arrive the stand comes with 4 rubber feet to attach to the bottom has anyone left these feet off and just put the stand so it sits flat of the floor will this cause a issue. I have carpeting where the tank is going to be I know the floor is a little uneven to level it out what would be the best course of action keeping the rubber feet on and shimming them with rubber shims or taking them off and shimming the flat portion of the stand thanks for the help !!

I would probably cut a piece of plywood around the same size as the cabinet footprint and have that sit on the carpet and the stand with rubber feet on it. I guess it can depend on how soft your carpet is, whether or not you can keep the piece the same size as the cabinet or make it a little bigger for more stability...and you can paint/stain it to match the stand to your liking. Good luck!

Also, I've had to do this many times, before you fill the tank, put a level on it, if it's not level, make sure and level it with shims before you do anything else.

With the size tank you're working with, the weight shouldn't be too bad, but, I' would be leery about using rubber feet for support.imho

It's hard to know without knowing how your carpet feels under the tank when it's full. Is it a soft shaggy type carpet or harder more industrial type carpet? If you fill up the tank, how stable does it all feel? If it's pretty solid then yeah I would say you can shim the feet.
