so your saying if any part of your stand isnt touching the floor, it should carry the weight and not need to be shimmed???

my job was to get her wet....now its Lauries job to make it salty

Good to see her wet man. That skimmer is a brute lol. I've seen full reef tanks smaller than that skimmer.
Keep those pics coming
