This is prob. my 3rd thread about my stand but i keep seeing threads about tanks breaking. Based on the rest of my threads everyone says my stand is fine.

THe top is almos perfectly flat, except there is a 1mm gap on one corner. This is when i lay a level diagonal across the top. The other diagonal sides are perfectly flush. I just dont know the tolarance. I assume 1mm is irrelavent, but im parinoid and dont want it to break. Pics below

Thanks guys, the tank will be in-wall, so its alot harder to recover from a crack or such when the tank is planted in the wall. LOL

Just to be sure it doesn't sway to much as the water places pressure on the glass I would shim the uneven corner. This will ensure it doesn't bend or flex the glass.

Dude! You better scrap the whole stand and start over!!!

:lol: Just kidding... Frankly, it doesn't get much better than what you've got showing in the pictures. I've seen worse to be sure... I think you're good to go.

Cheers

you could always just shim it so you will atleast feel better about it
