Hi everyone,
I have a 65g I am trying to level. My first attempt at leveling :laugh2:
Used the level on the top trim and leveled it. Filled 1/2 full and the water line is not level :surprise:
I got to looking at the top trim and it is not sitting completely level :frown2:
So, my question is:
Can I level the tank using the water line. Placing the level on the glass at the water line?
Thank you for any and all help

haha that happened to my homemade stand, I was pissed because I thought I had messed up. it turns out my floor was not leveled. since it's a rimless tank you can tell right away when things aren't leveled. I used pennies under the corners to level everything, turned out to be pretty easy

I had the same problem at my condo. I did as you said. Put the level on the rim of the tank and them hammered shims under the stand to level it. Took about 4 in total but worked well and verry easy.

Yes, you can use just the water line to level.

Generally I put water in to the top of the bottom trim and level on that. Way more accurate than any 4' level you want to put on it.

Also much easier to get the shims placed right when using the lower trim rather than lifting a full tank of water while shimming the stand.
