Hi there - I had a quick question in case there are any people who know physics better than I do.
My 240 litre Eheim Scubaline was improperly aligned from the start and there is a 2 cm overhang of the tank on one side.The overhang is such that for about half of the rear of the tank there is no support. On the other-side, there is a 2cm gap, which has had some warping due to water dripping during normal waterchanges.
The tank has been filled for 16 months without issue. The tank is sitting on the Eheim cabinet made for this specific tank. Diagram attached:
Is this tank in danger of bursting, collapsing the stand, etc? I tried to drain the water to the minimum level and re-shift it but it was still too heavy. I can of course, take out all the substrate, which will enable me to move it, but doing so will destroy my beautifully planted tank.
What do you guys think? Leave it or destroy and rebuild? Thank you as always
