Just wondering if my reefer 170 is okay being a tad unleveled. I filled it up with water over the weekend and noticed based on the water line that it’s unleveled. I used my iPhone as a level and apparently that is not very accurate. Here are the measurements of the water line from the water line to the top of the glass.

I just went through the same. Also having a 750 I was hoping the smaller tank would have adjustable feet like the bigger tank. Doesn’t appear that way. Had to Add composite shins under the plastic feet in the 170.

Get some shims and get it right. At least get it closer 3/8" is allot on such a small tank. Is it OK, to leave it? that's purely up to you. It would drive me nuts.
 
P.s. shim packs at the box stores were $1.50 for enough to do 10 tanks.
