If Denny is comfortable with you filling it as is, go for it
I can see where shimming only the outside edges may pose a problem as there's no 'trim' that the glass is sitting on |
with large tanks we build right on to the plywood, because of the strength of the silicone we use once cured removing it would be alot of work and would more than likely end up with chipping/shelling the glass.
the plywood base is used to ship safely and so the tank can be slid around untill its filled with no damage to the bottom.
for smaller tanks we build on a foam base.
