Is this goong go be a problem later?

[Fishcrisp]

I recently bought a level and checked my tank both front-to-back and side-to-side. The bubble is within the lines in both directions, although it's not perfectly centered on the side when i put it vertical.
I also noticed that the waterline appears to be slightly different from one side of the tank to the other.
Based on the attached photos, does this look acceptable, or should I be concerned about the tank not being level enough? Could a small difference in the waterline cause any long-term issues for the tank or stand? Its a inovative marine 100ext
Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: I have tile floors.

Short term , it’ll probably be ok. But I’d not trust it long term. It’ll put stress on the seam . It’s on enough of a tilt to be seen pretty easily .

You think is the stand? I checked the flooring and is level

Well has to be something. Unless the level is malfunctioning. You could try shimming it. I didn’t care that before

I think by taking care of it now, at this early stage of your build process, you will have better sleep for years to come. (Composite shims from Lowe's, etc.) Best wishes moving forward.

Agreed since it looks like the tank is new. Id buy a couple of the 50ish gallon brute cans and drain the tank and get it level.

Composite shims agreed with above.

Composite shims. Or if you you want your tank to sit a little taller, innovative marine has a base for the stand with like a dozen adjustable feet. It also lifts the stand and sump off the floor for air flow and cleaning

Not a huge deal as today’s wave makers slosh the water back and forth and are really powerful, it’s never gonna be perfectly level even when it’s level lol... would I fix it? Possibly but I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. My water line is about 1/4” off from left right once I filled my tank and I can’t tell with the mp40’s on. It was level when I had an Inch of water in it but 300gallons weighs a lot and it changed once it was full and I just left it. Been going for 3 years with zero issues honestly.

As long as the stand is fully contacting the floor and there are no gaps at all between the tank and stand I don't think it will hurt anything. The uneven water line would bother me tho so I would try to level the stand with some shims.
