We Recently purchased a used Red Sea 450. It looks like it was designed to have small plastic feet held on by a nail. From transporting/unloading we knocked a couple off. I’ve got new feet on order, but it sounds like it’s going to be a little while before they come in. Would it be an issue to just remove them all and then level from there or are these feet pretty important? From what I’ve read a lot of tank stands don’t even use feet.

Any advice is appreciated!

I took the feet off my stand and placed right on the floor.
This spreads out the weight rather than focus it on feet.

I also don’t want crap getting under the stand.

That’s kinda how I thought about it also. They’re very small feet, seems like the weight would be distributed better without them. I just wasn’t sure how important they were.
