Tank wobble

[Manuelnvrz]

I just purchased a fusion 20 nano by IM but I set my EMPTY aquarium down on my counter and it wobbles a bit. It has a rubber mat under but still wobbles? Normal? Will the mat level out when I fill it?

How much movement are we talking about and how thick is the mat? Something like an 1/8" or so isn't much to be concerned with so long as the mat is at least that thick.

Shim it with wooden shims wobbling is not ideal

I'm gonna check another surface. I'm hoping it's my countertop

Lol alright. So out of excitement I set my tank down on a dirty counter which lead it to wobble. Cleaned the counter and now the wobble is gone!

Does it matter what kind of water I use to leak test it?

Nope tap is fine to leak test and then empty out.

Haha glad it turned out being nothing. Enjoy your new tank!

Leveling tanks has always been the bane of this hobby for me. Not sure why but shimming here shimming there little by little and then I'm still off ticks me off. So much now I only use metal stands with leveling feet. Easy least.

Thanks guys. Glad it made some people laugh!
