So as the title says I’m having some problems getting my tank level. I recently got a second hand tank and just set it up. During setup I made sure to level everything out before hand and all was well. But now that I’ve added all my rocks and sand I’ve noticed it’s not sitting level. I found out that it’s because of the leveling mat itself. It’s extremely compressed on the back side giving the tank a slight lean.

The tank is a IM lagoon 25 and in the display from to back there is about a 1/8 in difference in water height. Can anyone give me some input on how detrimental this is or some tips on how to safely get it level? Hopefully without completely emptying it to scrape off the old mat and replace it.
 
What kind of stand do you have ? You might be able to shim between the the floor and the stand in order to get the tank level

It’s the IM APS stand. I was thinking that I just thought it would create pressure points on the stand frame since it’s basically just a Totaly flat bottom
