OK, I am setting up my stand and tank and the stand isn't sitting perfectly level. Its about 1/16th off of level. The back is just a little too low, only a sixteenth of an inch though. This is going to be holding a 46 gallon bowfront tank, will the fact that it is off by 1 sixteenth of an inch be a problem? and if so what would be a good way to correct this problem. Thanks in advance.

If the tank is off level because the stand is not level (i.e., the tank is sitting flat on a stand that's not perfectly level), you should be OK. If the tank is sitting on an uneven surface, then I'd worry.

HTH,

If the stand is off level by a little now it will be off more when there's 400 pounds of water and aquarium on it. Try to get it ats dead on as you can.

You can get a package of wood shims at the hardware store cheap. They work great.
