I built my own stand for a 60 gallon rimless cube. I was testing the tank on the stand and it doesn't look like the plywood is flat. There is a bump on the right left side thats causing the front left edge to float. They screws are covered, so pretty hard to remove them. I added about 15 gallons to see if it would help and so far doesn't look like much change. Do I need more water or wait longer in it to get the plywood to flatten? If it can't flatten out by itself some options I was thinking of are pouring some self leveling epoxy, this foam pad, maybe a sheet of 1/8th ply? Suggestions?

So it is sitting on foam. In the second picture you can the edge of it sticking out from the corner of the tank. But i can still slide a card under it with no resistance. I'm wondering if it'll even out if just leave it alone for 58 hours or get something thicker like a yoga mat.

Looking back at this photo, i can see the bumps shadow. It looks like the plywood bunched up? I'm going to try to remove a screw or two.
