@blackreef13 i have the same problem on my 125 gallon tank, if your stand is level but the surface is slightly out you can use a sheet of 1/4 or 1/2" styrofoam between the tank and the surface of your stand. This should account for any variance up to about 1/8 of an inch.

Hey steelo, i have my stand and it is a bit unleveled so i leveled it and i looked at the bottom frame and noticed that my tank was touching the stand in the middle but on the sides their is a slight gap in between could it be possible that the surface is uneven? Then i was thinking of also shimming the tank but i might buy a think piece of plywood waht do u think

Tank leak...starting new!by TheGeoYangPro1,207 views
if you dont have the level and are using the one inch of water method u can measure it in the corners and center with a measuring tape to see how far off you are

i leveled my tank and it still has alittle leak in the corner. i think that i just need to buy some aquarium safe sealant. if you or anyone have any ideas why this is happening, please comment back....
MrIAN1077 9 months ago
@MrIAN1077 The sealant will only patch the problem, and it may leak again. The best way to achieve a good seal is if the tank is empty and silicone sealant is placed on both the inside and outside of the tank, and then allowed to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before you use the tank again. Good luck.

@aharon115 There is no day 4 buddy. i have been taking the videos as the system gets set up and there are changes so on some days, there are no changes. I want to show how long it takes to set up a 90g system and also want to get across that patience is key to being successful in this hobby. Next update will be day 10 so it will skip 5 days pr so. Thanks for watching :)
