Neighbors probably wonder what’s going on in my front office room

First check floor is level lol. Then measure off floor same all 4 sides. Should be good and level

The house is 70+ years old, nothing is level, square, or plumb!

Can you screw the middle ones all the way in and then just use the outside ones to level?

I consisted it, though that would mean the weight is distributed between fewer feet. That said, there are no center vertical braces, so the load is primarily supported by the edge feet...

Best I could do with the Waterbox stand that is built the same way was:

Tape off the general location where the tank will go.

Use a long level to check what adjustments will be needed and measure the adjustments with a ruler.

Transfer those measurements to the feet of the stand as best you can.

This is close to where I landed as well. I was thinking I could set the outside feet to get it level, flip the stand, then use a long straight edge to bright bring the interior feet to the extension.


Thanks for your ideas everyone.

Also. How serious are you about leveling. If you’re willing pull up carpet then self leveling cement even on an old house is a magical thing. That is, if your floor is wood joists or lvl…. That’s just more weight.

Ok, I need some help please.

How the heck do I level this stand? The get in the middle seem impossible to adjust.

Cut plywood to match stand floor space. Once the stand is on plywood you can then shim under the plywood

@Peanut I think scored all the good yumas!

nah....I got 3 nice ones, but the insane ones went for insane prices.

My haul was the SBB Blue Red Gumball, Copper planet, and Midnight.

If its like the redsea stands then the inside panel should come out.....level it and then put the floor panel back

I put a deposit down on a new tank....should I do a build thread?

That's a better plan. Only concern would be a high spot in the middle but that is easy enough to fix.

My key is to acclimate in low light till they stretch then move to brighter lighting also love food aka mysis. You need the blues

Back getting better?

Surprisingly little by little. I can now say today is better than yesterday. Still limiting bending and stuff. Back to work 12 hrs a week. Severe limitations
