Uneven Tank

[SSK101]

After three months I've noticed yesterday after a water change the tank has become uneven,is it bad enough to cause a problem and if so how would I go about levelling it without tearing the whole tank down ? The water line is higher at the front ,the cabinet is on carpet and was level when I set it up ! The tank is 170 litres-3 ft
Thanks

I have some plastic shims,I've seen a video of Joey DIY hammering some wooden shims under a cabinet with the tank and some water still on it,I think I will try with these

As above, shims will do the job. Tbh, if it were my tank, I wouldn’t be overly worried.

Others have said similar to you,not to mess with it but I had a 6 ft tanks years ago that exploded, so for peace of mind I'm going to take out as much water as possible and carefully try to shim it now,hopefully I won't make things worse 😂

Well that didn't work,I'll just leave it as is,the only way to do it would mean tearing down the scape ,taking the rocks out and lifting the tank off the cabinet ,

And on a side note the waters been cloudy the last three weeks after putting a pack of root tabs down, the plants where turning brown,the plants have improved a lot but will stick to liquid fertilizer from now on.

Get some carbon and a filter media bag and run enough carbon to fill one of the trays in your filter. I’m talking about an excessive amount of carbon.
Run that for a couple of weeks along with a few good water changes and your water will be crystal clear.

Not being funny, but why ask at all if you already think its a problem?
