Update on the aquascape!!!

Bro, no.....no...no....
What's up with the sand man??? You using beach sand or something?

 

[bvega789]

Its not all about how bad it looks or how u cant use 1 overflow. Not leveling a tank this size can end up in disaster. Empty it. Dont take a chance.

Understood

Did you mix with play sand? Hope you got the type that has no silicates or your tank is going to turn into a 155gallon refugium.

Empty into garbage cans, use 3 ft pry bar for leverage to lift right side, use composite shims to level. Had to do this on 115g cylinder and it wasn’t bad at all.

The right side overflow is the one thats not getting any water

Sorry, lift the left side. You get where I am going with this.

You are not going to get any water on that side everrrr because the tank is not leveled.
It’s not that “it’s not working” Or “not getting any water” basically the tank is leaning towards the other side.
Your going to stress the seams and eventually break the tank or bust a seam =water all over the floor and neighbors below.

Empty the tank level it. Then we can talk about the rest of the things that are wrong .

Oh excuse me....Acrylic makes it ok? What the heck you been smoking my man???
You're an absolute fool for propping your tank up that way. You have a huge gap under the tank. When it springs a leak you'll be crying. Smh

 

[afernandez]

Incredible ......

If you don’t fallow advise you will never have success in the hobby.

This will end in disaster. If you were able to shim the tank why didn’t you just shim the stand? That tank is going to fail, you’re putting an incredible amount of strain on that tank.

Hope you have insurance for that.
