Hello everyone
I'm now reaching equilibrium in my new Rhode Island home. The place we are renting is a lovely candidate for "This Old House." What I mean is, although it is a very beautiful old place, the floors and the walls are no longer square.
The place where I was hoping to set up the 75 gallon octo tank has a little bit of an inward slope from the wall, 3/8" over 16". That comes out to be about 1.34 degrees. I do not know how significant this is.
Assuming that this is too much, would the best procedure be to get some wooden shims from the hardware store, level the stand, fill the tank, adjust the level, trim off the protruding part of the shims?
Does anyone have any experience? I expect most tanks aren't perfectly level.
