Waterbox leveling?

[Notsolostfish]

My basement is super unleveled, and i cant seem to level the feet im at maximum height. And still unleveled front to back. Can i put wood shims are the feet directly? The feet are small holds with a bold its a marine x110

You should be able to put shims under the individual feet, though I'd rather use blocks, as the shims are also not level/wedge shaped. Hopefully the tank isnt full, or this is going to be difficult.

If not full yet. Put down a piece of Plywood and block or shim away. Use adjustable to fine tune level.

I just finished assembling the tank. Nothing is filled and the glass still not on the stand

So place a plywood under it? And shim the plywood? And what do you mean adjustable?

Yes Get a piece of 3/4" plywood to put down as a sub floor. You can put shims along the underside of the plywood edges to pre level the tank/stand. Set up tank and fine tune the adjustable feet as needed.
Also recommend getting plastic composite wedges vs the pine wood ones you linked. Can get at any Home Depot or Lowes. Composite wedges wont be effected by moisture swelling if wet or dry out, but most important they are stronger and will not dent under the heavy load if you using directly under the tiny feet posts.

Adjustable?
You said "The feet are small holds with a bold its a marine x120"
From this I'm assuming you have the aluminum stand that comes with the Marine X110.4 set up which has 6 adjustable leveling feet.

Those should work. I like the fact they have a larger foot surface vs the stock bolts. Good Luck!
