![]() Alright so to level this tank I grabbed a scrap peice of .108" stainless channel from work and bought the cheap screw jacks. Had to cut myself some plywood shims, ended up needing 4 on each side.
Here is what it looked like before ![]() Cutting the c channel to length at home. ![]() Pic of $8 dollars worth of cheap chinese machinist jacks (rated to 1k lb each) ![]() So this is what i used minus 4 shims. I used the large scissor jack to raise the stand, then let it down on the leveling jacks. Took 4 tries to get it lvl front to back and side to side. ![]() This is what each side looks like. Can't see the channel but it is up underneath and runs the full width. ![]() Nice cloudy water! Aquavitro? ![]() And what the sump plumbing looks like now ![]() Took me 5 mins to get the tanks balanced. I have noticed that the system is somewhat self balancing. Anyways I am pretty happy now!
