Didn’t appear to change it, it’s in my basement on carpet. I didn’t put the feet on the bottom of the stand I’m just noticing.. Is there any negative effects of having a slightly uneven water level? Or is it just going to bother me like the mysteriously lost water clarifier packetsYeah, that water level does look a bit askew. Try turning off all pumps first and see if it levels out.
If not, use a spirit level on top lip of stand, then top rim of tank, then measure distance between water level and top rim of tank left and right. Should reveal any inconsistencies.

Yes, it looks like the stand itself is -2 or 3 degrees. I think my basement is very slightly sloped, think I can try to shim it on the lower side of the tank?Yeah, your clownfish will slide to one end of the tank. It’ll be an uphill battle for them.
Did you check the measurements? You want to determine if the issue is stand or tank related. If your tank is not seated evenly on your stand it may be an issue that needs to be dealt with asap.
I’d say this is the #1thing I’d recommend to a beginner. In hindsight I definitely rushed some stuff which is causing me more work. Be patient, think things through, and scour these forums for any and all questions and thoughts about the tank.Hey man Congrats I know its very exciting, I will say this though be VERY patient with cycling and adding fish, also I would Quarantine youre fish before adding them to make sure they are disease free, this means another tank "Oh No" lol x), but its totally worth it in the long run, also if you add any fish in the future youre gonna have to Qurantine again so i suggest get all the livestock you want the first time around, with the consideration of the tank size and all that! I think you should be good to go !!! A lot of ppl will say the same about coral but to be honest ive never had an issue with just adding coral without quarantining them which makes sense but at the same time it doesnt lol but anyway good luck and just have FUN ! Did I mention be patient ????? lol
For sure, thanks for the recommendations and pushing me to do it properly.Glad you got tank levelled out and stand issues addressed. I bet you’re feeling better about it!
Have you thought about getting an ATO? Your glass lid will definitely decrease evap but tbh I think an ATO is one of best pieces of kit you can get to assist with stability. Tunze 3155 is my go to.
