leveling an aquarium

[mocaman]

I just set up a 55 gallon tank. I tried to get it level, but it is still a bit off. I didn't notice this until I got it all filled. Will I have problems down the road with it leaking? Should I take it all apart and try to get it more level. The people at the petshop said it wasn't that bad and to leave it alone and that the new tanks of today seldom leak. Kinda hard to believe.

Thanks!

How bad is it? I have a few that are slightly unlevel and have never had a problem.

if its less than 1/8 inch it should be ok any more than that I would be a little worried. Perfectly level is best but not always attainable.

It should be fine. As long as it is not way off.

Id be more concerned about additinal stress to the stand.How far off is it?
