I think you are close enough to level. It may not be possible to get it perfectly level.

Fine

If it was my tank I would take the time to get it level, just because it would bother me. However as others have said it is fine (won't cause any problems).

It would bother me also. Why can you not get it level using shims? I’ve had lots of tanks on unlevel floors and never had issues getting the tanks level.

The bigger problem, by the way, is not that the tank is out of level in the long dimension, it is ensuring there is no twist. In other words, make sure the tank is out of level equally along both the front and back edges.

Nobody can tell you it won’t be a problem, only that it probably won’t be a problem.

At 30 gallons this isn’t a problem, especially since it’s on foam, but I’d just level it anyway because why not

Plastic Toilet Shims are your friend here.

I used wooden shims on my 25gallon tank and stand to get it level. I had a hump in the floor where the tank went and it was pitching back and forth until it was shimmed. Been great for over a year now.

Im in the re-level camp.

Like the old saying. A blind man would be glad to see it. They make these screw type things to screw on a floor joist, and screws the plywood floor up to get rid of squeaks. I cant tell but maybe they would work for the base under the tank, but would drive in shims all along the edge once its level. Me I would leave it alone
