LOL! I got the new nano setup where I want it, but the floor isnt level. What can I use to shim it? Thin piece of styrofoam?

Trying to level my 90g and not sure how to do that. Though getting that set up may be a problem, Stacey and I seperated.

Wood shims, unless the level is way off. I shimmed a 240g tank/stand in that manner. The concrete was at a slight angle. I should have shimmer my old 180g, but i was lazy and I suffered for it. My right side overflow didn't do as much work as the left side.

I have concrete sub-floors and think they have sagged some over the last 100yrs, lol.

Hey Rob and Stacey sorry to here about your trouble. Josh they make plastic shims for installing toilets if your worried about wood shims getting wet.

Not yet, the wife is a little concerned about setting up a new tank right now. I still have to take some measurements for that sump I talked to you about. Hopefully the next day or so I'll get them to you.
