I filled my tank with water today and noticed that it isn't perfectly level. The left side is about a centimeter higher than the right. Should I try to level it out or not worry about it?

My 75 is the same way. only it is about a half inch diff on my tank. and actually it is the floor. im going to follow along and see also.

Personally, I would shim the stand to level the tank. I wouldn't want to worry about it. Plus, I have dual overflows, so an uneven tank would be a pain.

My 55g is about a 1/4 unlevel due to the flooring shifting under it. And since its on carpet, very hard to shim.
Its been fine for well over 2 years now.

My 30 gal tank was off by almost 1/2 inch. I shimmed it but its still off a tad (maybe an 1/8th.) I think its fine or else I'm gonna have a soggy living room some day
