Hi all!
Today I noticed that there is water lewel difference in my tank (it is superfish scaper 90 , 60l total volume).
So as you can see on the photo there more water on left side, and this because my cabinet for some reason got swollen.
How dangerous is this and what can I do about this ?
Please see the attached photos.

The risks are that your tanks cracks. Is there also a gap in places between the base of the aquarium and the top of your cabinet? Looks that way on the left hand side.

I'd be looking to move the tank (after emptying it, of course) off the cabinet and either find a way reducing that swelling or placing something over the existing base to absorb the uneveness and then replacing the tank.

I would just add that the swelling loos quite bad, and not really sure how that water damage is going to be fixed. It might be a new cabinet once you have had chance to move and inspect.

Thanks guys, i just reviewed it and there is gap on middle between tank and the base. I bought this cabinet two monts ago and juat texted the shop regarsing warranty. Regarding the risk, should i start removing tank asap or can it wait a bit?

My view is that if the tank is not square to a surface then its creating strain supporting the part that is in the air. (Think of the Titanic break up!)

If it was me, I would take the water down and move to a safe flatter surface.

Sooner rather than later.

I added some carton under the mat so tank has support and to close those gaps, will wait for the shop reply

Hi Nijat11,

I don't believe there's warranty against water damage. Go on Facebook marketplace and get yourself a nice piece of solid furniture. Your tank doesn't look that big, so you should be able to find a sideboard that fits, easily and cheaply. Good project for the weekend!

So went to the local hardware storage bought plate the same size 3mm higher and attached it, not very nice like origina one, but at least no gaps and seats solid now

That, indeed, was quick! Well done!

But there is still difference in the watrer leve, probably floor is not very straight, but the main thing tank is sitting solid.
