[AquaticLife] I really messed up this time!
i don think any of my tanks are perfectly level. they all seem to lean just a hair to the front. Never been an issue. looking from the front you dont notice it.

This stand is one of those particleboard kit deals and has a flat top for the tank and a flat bottom or base. There are no actual tank legs so to speak just upright 1 x 6 particleboard pieces. This stand would appears to be much like what dealers like to call a pedestal stand. > > If we were talking about a steel stand with 4 legs I would know how to handle it but for this stand I am lost and angry with myself for being so stupid. I am not sure if I should try and level it by just leveling the tank alone on the flat top stand or try to level the whole stand all at once with the tank on it. > > If anyone has any ideas at all please answer with a real “how to with step by step instructions. I have made some mistakes in my life but in all truthfulness, this is the dumbest thing I ever did! A complete tear-down and refill would not be easy either, but we would have to take out some water because of the weight and also is nowhere to put the fish or gravel.
