Just put the stand together for my new SR120 and have a leveling question. The floor is around 1/4” out of level from left to right. I had to put use a roughly 1 and 3/4 composite shims to get it level. Any issues with this if I add shims along the perimeter of the bottom to ensure even distribution of weight?

It would probably be a good idea to spread the weight as evenly as possible. Is it full of water yet?

No, it’s not. The tank isn’t even on the stand yet. I’ve level lots of tanks and always use shims spread out around the tank, this is just the biggest gap I’ve dealt with before.

I wonder if it would be better to get 1/4 Masonite board and cut it down
