I would level the top of the stand where the display sits. and I would continue to check level as I filled up the tank so that it remains level as it settles

I agree that you level the top of the stand. Make sure that it’s level in the front, back, and sides.
Broke down Seahorse tank and found some things I thought were dead. Plus check out the cool rolling cart my wife bought me. She even put it together for me.

You could always rock a small dehumidifier in office right next to Tank they’re silient
2 weeks since the switch and here my water params, a bit concerning.
Alk - 8
Cal - 240
PH - 8.0
Phos - less than 0.25 but not 0
Nitrate - 100
All tests done with API kits, all I currently have.
Will be adding Phosguard for the phosphate.
Nitrates are high, never been this high ever on any of the tanks.
Should I do WC now? Was going to wait a month before doing one.

Can’t hurt to do 10gal WC
Think I figured out the Phosphate issue.
My old setup had a 8 inch cup for filter material which I swapped out each weekend and my reading was 20ppm on average.
The new sump has two 4 inch holders. They were swapped last weekend and today extremely filthy. I will have to make a habit of swapping out the filter floss2 or 3 times a week now.
That should reduce the Phos level; plus I threw in my last handful of Phosguard to help out in the interim. Added 10ml Calc to slowly raise that level and added some magnesium as always.
