We’re setting up a new RSR XXL 750 which is almost a 6’ tank. I got the tank painstakingly leveled, threw in the sump and plumbing, and was getting ready to fill when I decided to do a paper test. It initially showed I could slip a full piece of paper in at multiple points on the left and front right. However, when I removed the center brace (I obviously had it too tight) most of the issues went away. What I’m left with is below. I can barely fit a sheet of paper to the extent visible in the pictures (back left corner, and a bit on the left side). All other points along the tank have no gap.
Should I pull the sump and see if I can take up the space without throwing the tank leveling off, or is this amount of gap reasonable prior to filling? The stand does have a foam pad but it’s not a true “leveling” pad from what I can tell.
So few comprehensive sources on leveling out there despite everyone agreeing this is critically important (especially with long rimless tanks)! So any knowledge drops are appreciated.
