Is this a problem? slanted tank...
So i went to test fill my new 30 gallon cube, and...
 it's freakin' slanted. it's not my desk and it's certainly not my tank...it's my crappy apartment. so my question is whether or not this will comprimise the structural integrity of the tank? i think i can deal with the asthetics as long as it's not going to cause me any other problems.

I'd level the stand. A slant, even by an 1/8th of an inch, is just unneeded stress and worry.

Go to the hardware store and buy some wooden shims to put either under the desk or tank. The ones I get come in a 10 pack I think. I find they work the best for me (I live in one of "those" types of houses too
 ).

definitely get it level. i'd say just go to rona or home depot and tell them exactly your situation and they will have good ideas

I would also reccomend if u choose to shim it..get some foam and cut it the size of your tanks bottom and set it on the foam this will ease any pressure points and will also help balancing.
