Shimming a 125 gallon aquarium and stand!

[MrsWeathers]

How? Lol. I bought composite shims and was trying to follow some tutorials but I’m so afraid if I shim just the side that needs raised it will create destruction. I’ve read horror stories about shims breaking and floors getting busted because so much weight on just the shims! My aquarium is about an inch un level. If that. Do I absolutely need to shim? If so, can somebody help and walk me through the safest possible way to do so?

I took the effort of figuring out how much correction was needed to make my tank level and then cut a single piece of wood that runs the entire length of my stand. There are no pressure points other than the entire length of the front and the entire length of the back.
