Waterbox gaps please help?

[vetteguy53081]

Alright fellas, i filled it with tap water. And the gaps are almost non existent now.

im going to give it a few days. And it seems like we are good to go.

As I stated- the water weight should compensate- great to hear

Being level is the least of your worries.. it’s fine to have a stand that’s a tad out of level as long as it’s flat! In your case it’s not flat.. it does look a lot better filled with water but it’s still not perfect.. can you slide a paper or anything under the back corners?

Nope cant slide anything anymore.

Boston reefers said it's good
Here said it's good
Vendor says it's good.
What more you want?

Fill it up with tap and let it sit for a few days. It's called testing it.

As I said if you are expecting 100% level you're not going to get it because the mat they gave you is slightly smaller and doesn't go edge to edge of the tank. At least that's what I'm interpreting.

Actually raymond weirdly enough the matt puffed up under water weight

Probably it's compressing and shifting to expand where it's needed?

Just an update for the thread i tried to check on it this morning since the is filled almost all the way up with tap. The gaps under the cabinet i can no longer see which is good. And the paper situation i can bately fit it on the sides. Not like before where i can slide it all the way through. I am going to give it few more days. And then empty it, clean it up. And get ready to order gear. I feel more confident right now to use the tank then before.
