Better check that your floor studs are not sagging,
125gal, u may need support from underneath in the
basement...

i just moved my 125 gallon fish tank (not fun) into my sunroom. after

the
water was in, i noticed the water is about a half inch higher on one

side
than
the other, and i took a level and found out the sunroom is not quite

level. my
first question is will this imperfection jeopardize the structure of the
tank/stand? i dont want 125 gallons of water in the sunroom! i can live

with
the imperfection if it doesnt mess anything up



As long as the stand is a well built stand it should do fine. The downward
force on the stand is slightly off center, but not enough to have much of

an
impact on the stand. It would have to be really bad to be putting force on
the stand in a direction which would cause the stand to fail.


also, short of draining the tank and puting something down to prop up

one
end,
is there any other way to make the tank level? thanks


Not unless you get a house jack, jack up the joists under the stand where
the sag is and install a lollie column.
