My tank is 5 ft, and when put in, it was 100% level... Once I put water in, it was out by a bit (Not much, but you can see it)... Anyways it has been almost 3 years and no problems. In my case I do believe the styro layer compressed unevenly, but not sure.

I wouldn't worry about it. I think trying to fix the slight uneveness may cause more issues, like even cracking the tank! In my case I am ok with it. I have a level with the tank and check it occasionally and it hasn't changed ever since first filling it up.

As with others, mine is euro-braced running wavemakers.
