Flipped stand. Loosens legs. Had friend press down on legs while I tightened them. Everything showed level before and after with 4 ft level. Gap, especially on back left was still present. I may fill up tank 1/2-3/4 full and see what happens

Did you check the foam that is on bottom of tank? Wonder if it’s not flattened out. Mine was loose in the middle and had to smooth it out.Flipped stand. Loosens legs.

mat is smooth. Next post will show results of fill test. Not good.Did you check the foam that is on bottom of tank? Wonder if it’s not flattened out. Mine was loose in the middle and had to smooth it out.
Thanks for your input. What really sucks is this tank is replacing another tank that the retailer refunded me after a year of issues that could not be solved by me, R2r, or the manufacturer. I’m beginning to wonder if I’m cursed.Wow that’s a head scratcher. So the stand is level and bottom of tank is level….why is corner like that?!?!? I’m with you that would be a warranty replacement request. Sorry that sucks man
It is not AIO. I have not plumbed sump yet. That part of overflow holds very little water. Filling it the 85-90% that I did made minimal difference in gap. I would not think that the remaining water would settle everything.Forgot is this an AIO tank? If not is this corner also full of water or just main part of tank?
I appreciate all of your input. I will be in contact with innovative marine tomorrow. I’m curious to know what your tank is like. Hopefully it’s perfect. I’ve got a brand new Trigger platinum sump and other gadgets ready to go. I hope this gets resolved. Thank you again.Send the pictures to IM and see what they say. Maybe leave it for a day or so and see if it settles. It seems like you must have high spot somewhere I don’t see what else can cause this. Maybe the pad I don’t know. I’m at work but gonna check my tank that is still empty tomorrow and see if I have a gap I didn’t notice. Really hope this gets resolved quickly for you especially after the other tank.
If I put down another pad under entire tank I’m thinking it could slightly exacerbate problem, or if I put some in corner, would it really support anything? Composite shim?Honestly, that "manual" gap in the corner really bothers me - especially after you filled the tank. Would it make sense to place another reef pad under the tank? (so you'd in effect have 2 pads)
I still don't understand why everything is level and that glaring gap is there. Have you measured the glass panes to verify they're all the same height?If I put down another pad under entire tank I’m thinking it could slightly exacerbate problem, or if I put some in corner, would it really support anything?

I guess I’ll call IM again tomorrow.
No, but that is a good idea! Will do.I still don't understand why everything is level and that glaring gap is there. Have you measured the glass panes to verify they're all the same height?
