Running tap water test...
Tank, sump, plumbing and return only. Gonna run like this for about an hour and make sure everything is good. Theres one spot I'm watching, but I think its from where my water hose picked up and tried to spray all over the floor.
Yep, thats water between the tank and the mat. Pretty sure it's from where we sprayed water everywhere, and not a seam. All the silicone looks great.

So, almost an hour later and we don't have any more water under the glass. I'm positive that was from water that sprayed out of the tank.

Alright guys... tell me what to do. I'm scared of this rimless tank.
Tank is level, but the right front corner isnt touching the mat...

Tank is right here... stopped filling after seeing the gap.
Yes, there is a foam mat under the tank. That is where the gap is. The tank isn't touching the mat on the right front corner.

I don't think shims under the tank is a good idea. I may have found part of the problem with the gap. The outside edge of the mat was compressed when it was sitting on top of the tank. That is giving me a gap around the tank. What my issue right now is, why is that gap more noticeable on the right side than the left side?

All I have is 1/2" styrofoam that was on the sides of the tank in the box. Can't lift it by myself anyway. I'm REALLY starting to regret this SCA tank. Cheap pile of bull manure.
