Cade aquarium levelling help

[Newreefer99]

Hi all

I had my cade 600 tank setup and filled by my LFS a week ago and I'm waiting out the cycle at the moment.

I've noticed that the tank isn't perfectly level. I don't think it was levelled fully before it was filled. The cade aquariums have levelling feet but they feel impossible to turn - is this just because it's full of water and too much weight? How much would I need to drain to adjust the levelling feet? I can drain out water and then put back in after adjusting the feet but I don't really want to remove the rock and sand if I can avoid it.

The levelling feet have plastic nuts so I don't want to apply too much pressure attempting to turn them in case they crack or strip.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks.

It is a lot of weight for sure. I don't know if I would feel comfortable using some sort of fulcrum/lever to help relieve the pressure some so it can be adjusted. That would be a two person job too. I think the safest route is just removing weight until you can adjust it.

It should have been levelled before it was filled.

I would not stress the stand and tank by attempting to change it now unless the tank were drained.

How far off level is it?
Can you post a photo with a builders level along the top of the front and side glass?

Across the tank (left to right) is level. It is the front to back that is a little off but not sure if enough to worry about? Pictures attached now.
