90g balancing

[iliriano]

I'm using cardboard box between the 90g deep blue and the plywood frame that i made. now the thing is that i don't want any gaps between the both so would it work or would it cause any infraction in the tank.

you really should be using styrofoam... but then again... what do I know.

i thought of that, but when i put the tank up it was on 1/16 of a difference in one conner, and i know that my floor is not level, planning on shimming the bottom of the stand

you are def. going to have to use shims to get that stand level and the tank can then sit level. as skene said styrofoam i wouldnt use cardboard at all

don't deep blue, recommend the use of cardboard for that purpose. just asking.

i wouldnt use it. dont care if they said it or not. you can also from what ive seen use a yoga mat and just trim around the tank.

I used styrofoam rolls, pink stuff. If your close to nnj your welcome to whats left. Easy to put on, cardboard gets wet, you'll have nothing left after first time. I may even have composite shims you can have

shim and Styrofoam. simple.

 

[iliriano]

didn't find any composite shims at HD, when to 3 of them, can I find the styrofoam there as well,

 

[thirty6]

Yes, i found both at home depot. The shims were in same display box as the wood shims

The foam was in the section near the ladders and stuff. Then again they are all set up different I guess
