Id also double check that your level is accurate. Those yellow plastic ones are infamous for being wrong. Not to say yours is, but I would double check just in case. In any case my tank isn't exactly level either and its been fine.

Default materials for shim
the most standard shimming material is cedar,,
I'm guessing that will compress over time...

my 97 was shimmed on carpet with popsicle sticks I'm not joking. My 93 right now has been upgraded to a few paint stir sticks. They stay dry so I'd think you'd be fine too with the cedar shims.
