Hi all. Just want to know is this level enough? The sides are not perfect but the front, back and middle all seems to be perfectly fine. This is a 65.4 AIO from water box, so not something like 100g+. The first two photos are the sides then other three are front, middle and back. Thanks in advance for any help.

Trying to get perfect level is putting the cart before the horse. If its 1)between the lines and 2)any small slope is the same direction (meaning if the front is toward the right line and the back is also toward the right line, if ones going one way and the others going the other way you may have a balance issue.) Then you are good. Even if its quite off, its generally fine but you'll see the slope in the top water line unless you got a canopy or trim that covers the water line (protip).

What you absolutely dont want is any sort of wobble in the stand. If it wobbles then there is play, and play + live weight = dangerous (Im not talking about for the tank at that point who cares I mean you wouldnt want the tank to fall on someone, especially not a child).

Looks good. My advice is add some water and check again. In general, if you are at or near perfect level you are fine.
