I just received my first big custom aquarium. I bought a steel stand from the builder as well. The aquarium builder provided a finished plywood sheet that sits on top of the stand. The aquarium itself also has a pvc sheet attached to the bottom of the glass tank and it is a eurobraced tank. I got the stand with the plywood sheet level before the tank arrived. Put the tank on the stand and made sure everything still was level. Then I did a visual inspection and found the slightest gap between the pvc bottom and the plywood top sheet in one corner.
They suggested that I give it a couple days to see if the wood conforms to the weight of the tank and the gap goes away. If the gap persists they suggested I will need to put a neoprene mat between the wood and the tank bottom. I guess my question is how could I still have a gap with the presence of a plywood sheet and a pvc mat when the steel stand itself was level?
