Hello all,

I recently upgraded from a nano tank to waterbox marine 90.3. I initially leveled the tank without water. After the tank is filled I checked the level again and it’s still good. Today is about 9 months after tank is filled and it is out of level. I took 4 photos (front, back, left, right). The left to right is good but the back of the tank seems to be lower than the front. What should I do? Any recommendation is appreciated. Thank you very much.

Can you adjust the leveling feet to bring it back to level? I would start by trying to slowly bringing thr back side down first (evenly). Quarter turn on one corner, corner turn on the other, etc. last resort would be raising the front after that, but be careful not to turn the leveling foot out of the stand. Then you’ll have to tear it all down to get it reinserted (ask me how I know).

Look up "airshim" you will have to drain about half the tank but they work.

This is front and back from both side after adjustments. Do you think it’s good?
