Hello! Setting up my first Fluval Evo and the way the tank sits on the base has been raising concerns for me. Should I be using the 6 rubber feet the tank comes with, a foam tank leveling mat or both?

Thanks!

Hi. :-)

Can you post an image please.
I would think a leveling mat would resolve the issue, but an image to be certain will help.
Regardless, it's a small tank and easier move around.

Here are some pics (no feet on the frame currently) I’ve been super sketched out that the corners are floating (not by much but still more than I’d like) and I’m not sure if I should opt for another stand or if the feet/foam mat would be good.

If the tank were bigger I might be concerned, I would try the leveling mat.
