Leveling Aquarium Stand On Carpet

Should i worry about my aquarium on the bar.

Leveling aquarium stand on carpet.

I would like to try and prevent potential spills and long term damage to the carpet underneath the tank. Does anyone have experience thoughts on a good way to do this. If your aquarium stand has gaps then a foam mat is going to compress into those gaps. The stand is wood with steel supports on the front two corners.

If your aquarium is off a bit because your floor is off a bit you are probably better off without shims at all as long as the level from end to end is less then 1 4 off especially if you re talking about a 4 foot or longer aquarium. If the stand is level but the tank is not sitting on it properly then an aquarium leveling mat or sheet of styrofoam may be used to smooth out the irregularities. Just my opinion from my experience note. To level an aquarium it is best to level the furniture or stand the aquarium is sitting on not the aquarium itself.

That s right uneven pressure on the base of your tank. Use shims under the stand when needed. Again it is very stable but has the slightest slant. Is it more important with a stand on carpet because the carpet could shift the stand.

And you know what that means. However recently i ve been looking to set up another tank that will be on aquarium stand on carpet and it seems leveling the tank is a big deal for that venture. Right next to it both on carpet over concrete foundation is a 47g upright aquarium that is exactly 1 4 inch off level from the left to the right but perfectly level from front to back. I am wondering specifically about some kind of plastic mat plexiglass or wood protector square 3 x3 for the stand to rest on but.

But enjoy my trial and error if. Most aquarium specific stands have a flat bottom without legs. I m setting up a 28 gallon nano cube led on my living room carpet.
