Tank not sitting level on carpet

[Ash Tee]

Hey, so I’ve just got everything set up and filled the tank up with water.
My stand is on carpet and getting to the top water level I can see it’s un-even somewhere.
You can see from the pictures where it’s off. The highest point is the front right and the lower level is along the back. Think I’m ok here to get the pump and heater on to get things moving, then get some shims tomorrow to try even it out a bit or is it wise to drain down and wait?

Get the shims. Better to start out level than to hope it levels itself

Would you drain it down or do you think it’s ok like it is untill tomorrow?

It’s ok . Prob less than an 1/2 inch right?
I would have rinsed that sand.

I won't put tanks on carpet. Too hard to level and the carpet will end up ruined anyway IME
