i have a 240G acrylic tank sitting in the grass. Currently painting the stand and it’s wet. If the grass is kinda on a small hill about a 3° slant will this be an issue? The tank is touching the grass at all points so not sure if it will matter. Just don’t wanna end up ruining my tank somehow

If you are saying you are going to fill the tank up with water outside in the grass, I wouldn’t do it. I would wait until you can put it on your stand.

As long as its not filled it'll be fine. I've seen large glass tanks sitting on a small furniture dolly just in the middle and they were fine. Personally I would use 2 with one on each side.
