Leveling my tank.

[smallblock]

Ok so I got my 72 setup and its probably cycled out by now. We moved some stuff around at the house and I have decided to move the tank to a different spot. The question I have is, is there a mat or something to put under a stand to help level it out? I've seen the construction insulation sheets used but is there something better? I got it level enough in the spot where it sits now with some cardboard shimms but I dont wanna go through that hassle again.

I used contruction foam board under the tank. Try to get the stand as level as possible first, shims etc and then put a sheet of the blue(Lowes), pink (Home Depot) foam board between the stand and tank. The weight of the tank will help level it out. Good luck!

What type and brand of tank is it ?

all glass 72 bowfront I dont want to put anything between the tank and stand, Think it would cause a bind

Either Lowes or HD has plastic shims for shimming doors that work great. Foam board does not level the tank , it will form somewhat to the tank or floor and fills the gap. But to truely level the tank the stand needs to be shimmed properly at the floor.
