Waterbox Stand Leveling Feet Help!

[TDehler]

Hello,
I am currently setting up my Waterbox Infinia Reef 190.5 stand and one of the threaded holes for the leveling feet seems to be loose. Is this a big issue? I will be calling Waterbox tomorrow but do you guys think I’ll need a new stand piece?

Im guessing they are riv-nuts, my guess is they were not installed tight enough…

After looking it up that’s exactly what it is, do you think a loose rivnut be a problem for my stand?

I don't see a problem. Try tightening up the jam nuts. After you set foot where you want it, just tighten the Jam nut against the frame. You may need to hold the nut closest to the foot with a wrench while doing this.

I think it might be painful to change length if it spins. Id you know the thread you can maybe rent riv nut tool or something. All you do is thread it in and squeeze like a standard rivet gun. i dont think there would be any big issues as its loaded against the boss around it but its not right.

With a 200g tank its enough i would want it right
