Well that's the thing, I think my carpet has to much give because the stand is level, but I can still shake it. I've tried just sticking shims around to see if I can eliminate any movement, but I'm alway left with a little. In my kitchen it all sat perfect, but where I'm trying to place it in the living room I'm having no such luck.

After having the tank sit with water it should compress the carpet and get rid of that give I'm getting, or is that not the case?

A carpet is the same thickness across your whole room.
Its the floor below the carpet, or your kitchen is not level.
Anything can be levelled with shims

Also don't forget there is underlay below carpets, foam in other words, this is what is probably letting you shake the tank side to side.
