So I have a 90 gallon acrylic tank that has been up for over a year. Finally stable and where I want it. I noticed a while back the tank, all the way down to the stand was slightly unlevel and marked the water marks on the tank and those have not changed. But, the more and more I look at it, the more uncomfortable with the idea of a potential tip over I get. It has about 150# live rock and coral colonies growing between rocks so a breakdown would be devastating (obviously not as devastating as a total failure). Would it be possible to shim up the stand without removal of all water or a total breakdown? Would I be able to hammer some shims under without risk of stand failure (built like a tank)? It is on a carpet floor and running across multiple joists on an exterior wall behind and a load bearing wall to right. I'll upload some level shots (not a fan of this level, wish I had my 4' carpenter level which I will snag from work tomorrow to double check). I'll also include a few shots of inside the stand to show its structural integrity. Worst case, could I partially drain water without removal of rock and coral, shim and level, then refill with same water removed? Looking for all ideas and options here. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.
(Back to front, back being the high point) my pic is askew so it looks way worse. Lol!

Stand is a full 3/4 ply skeleton with corner bracing in front.
And the reason I don't wanna break down.
