Am I crazy with this? (pics inside)
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   opposite diagonal corner. This one is flush

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.

 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
