Well look at the top of the tank then, estimate how much it moves when you rock it

Can I throw a piece of cardboard under the tank to make up for the uneven corner?

if the stand is unlevel and its only about 1 /16th or so then yes use foam to make up the difference.

Are you sure that's alright with a stand with a rim?

I'm kinda confused...

The tank rocks when it sits on the wood on the stand?... or

The stand rocks on the floor?

Sasq40 05-08-2014 03:13 AM
It moves about a 1/16, maybe 3/32
