Default Is your tank level?

My tank is level from back to front, but is slightly uneven from left to right (5 feet length). Bubble in level is still within the centre lines, bubble touching one line. So we are talking very small amount, but of course I could always see on the water level of tank.

It was level during install, but after water and rock, it changed. Now in saying this it has been 6 years, and it hasn't changed any more. So I am not worried, just curious on how many others had this happen.

FYI: my tank is in my bonus room over the garage.

This sounds familiar. I think we've had this talk ? :-) Ya, mine is unlevel too. About half an inch (from each end of the 6' length).

Minde is slightly unlevel front to back. It's been 5.5 years though, so not too concerned.

Not leveled in both directions, like twisting is worse.
