Mike P Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 So I decided to go ahead and fill up my reefer 170 over the weekend with just water to check for leaks and make sure my pump works. I thought the tank was leveled but the water line tells me differently (note to self the iPhone level is not that good) my question is do I need to worry about anything? Here are the measurements from the water line to the top of the glass. Â Â FRÂ 1in FLÂ 1 1/8 BRÂ 1 1/4 BLÂ 1 3/8 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It's probably alright. However, I like to use plastic shims (which don't rot) to level the stand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I would probably shim a tank that size to get it closer to level, however if a level shows it as plummed-out I'm not sure how much I'd panic over taking a tape to water-levels either. The resulting water-level changes from relatively-small differences in angles can be deceptive and you may find that even a thin shim will just cause the other side to be as or more off than you currently are. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I use plastic or wood shims to level my tanks. Â Â 1 1 Quote Link to comment
