fish tank not level

The warranty for my 125 gallong tank says it is null and void if the tank is
not placed on a proper stand, which in turn is placed on a flat and level
surface. I don't think a slight variation is a problem as long as the floor
is flat but my understanding is that it *does* place additional stress on
the tank.

And no, there is no way to move a tank with risking damage other than
*completely* emptying it first.

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

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

As you don't give any details of your tank stand, its very hard to advise
you on what to do, with regard to levelling it up.
There's a few ways of doing it, from a couple of car jacks on each of the
lower corners to double wedges [ two wedges narrow edge end to end and
slowly hit each wedge in turn, so that the wedges climb on top of each
other] which if done correctly will lift anything, But what ever you do,
must be done slowly to avoid water slop,
