    Anyone else agree with this? I'd rather make these kind of adjustments before the tank is filled. I put the mat down more so the tank doesn't indent the floor and also if I need to shim it will conceal that and for small water splashes.

    Finally got the tank and the stand assembled. Next step will be the plumbing portion. obligatory FTS. Very nice glass 9 gallon sump. Plenty of room for any kind of skimmer, pumps and whatever media you choose to run.

    The saw was for if the hammer is not enough hehe. On a serious note: Is this acceptable level? The stand stands flat and sturdy like this, and if I try to shim it, it gets all wobbly because Red Sea stands have plastic feet under. It's my floor that is a bit uneven but nothing i can do about...

    Chapter 3: "What are all these extra parts honey?" The stand build in progress. Actually came together quite well. Way above ikea in ease of assembly. Hats off to Red Sea. Still need to attach door. Of note: The stand comes with foam self leveling mats installed on top and inside the...

    To second what people are saying here. I have seen ph swings between day and night. I think that is actually how it happens in nature too but I may be wrong.
