No water parameters yet as we're running fresh water to test for leaks. I do, however, have Hanna's salinity tester, which is awesome!

More details...

These were the fish already in the tank for the last 6 months or so. I got to see them on two separate occasions before purchasing the tank. They all look healthy and are eating well.

Stock list (currently in quarantine and all are eating after the move):
Gem tang
Purple tang
Lavender tang
Orange shoulder tang
Regal angel
Melanurus wrase
Yellow watchman goby
Brazilian banana eel

I don't know the plan yet.... Right now, my goal is just to keep everyone happy through the move.

So, we set it up on the stand and found out that the back (by the wall) is 5/8" lower than the other end.

30 high x 34 wide x 66 long

1. Will this be a structural problem down the road?
2. What's the best way to fix this?
My husband bought composite shims thinking that he could shim up the one end to get the tank level.

The fish are still in quarantine, so they are happy. I don't want to move them into the tank until I'm sure everything is ok.

Ok, tank is shimmed and is now level. The tank is 100% in contact with the stand which is rock-solid stable. Sand and salt water going in tomorrow.
