Recently bought a Waterbox 25 with a stand and set it up and noticed it was very unleveled (-2 degrees on iPhone level). Drained the tank and shimmed it (Tank has self leveling legs which I also adjusted). It seems to be a lot more leveled now but its still slightly bugging me. If it is just cosmetic I can live with it but I heard horror stories of tanks not being leveled (larger ones?) . I attached pics but seems more dramatic in the photo to be honest. I would love some input.... The most level photo is the front panel and the one slightly off is the left panel. The right panel is not pictured but is leveled according to the level. TIA

Looks good. On a cube tank like that with a solid top on the stand, there isn't much worry of the tank cracking, just adequate surface skimming.
Thats what I figured, Thanks!

The level is supposed to be on the top of the tank. A longer level to span the top would be ideal.

That sized tank can handle not been perfectly level.
Good point, will probably end up getting a longer one, to double check. Thanks!
