So I leveled my tank stand which is for a 75 gallon. Currently I put a 29 gallon on top in center of that stand and leveled the front and right side. Both came out perfect in center of the 2 lines on a spirit level, however the left side the bubble is off center but still in between the two lines just more closer to one side the the other. Will this be a prob?

Maybe add some shims underneath the stand. It’s not terribly off but enough to appear even more off level with the 75 gallon when you fill it up.

Thank you! I forgot to mention that the side that would need to be more shimmed is not n a difficult location to add but I don’t think it’s I’m possible. Just real tight up against a corner of wall.

Agree with shims. Better to address now that later

I would most definitely level with shims. I would not leave an aquarium not leveled as it will apply uneven pressure, which can lead to clear, severe problems. I leveled mine with “EZ-Shims,” so that there is no risk of moisture ruining the shims over time.
