    our design is the “minimalist” design – the one in the center that just has the plus sign for a base ;)

     

    hahaha – we will see how many plugs are still in it when I actually get the can back, if I ever […]

    Thank you for the input I’ll try and find some . I sanded down some of the high spots and it sits slot better now but I think I’ll sleep better if I put foam down also. I noticed that my tank trim is not […]

    Just 1/2” Styrofoam ought to do it, just like the stuff that comes in some of the boxes that livestock is shipped in.

    Thank you for explaining about the shims that seems like it could work. As for the foam would that spread the presure out evenly. That seems like an easer way to go I have trim around the tank . If so how thick […]

    Gaps between the tank and stand can also be shimmed, with caution.  Make sure that all you’re doing is filling the gap, NOT putting pressure on that portion of the tank, with the shims.  Again, place the shims […]

    I just want to make sure everyone knows that this gap is between tank and stand. I thought it was a bad idea to shim the tank itself shiming the stand I know is alright

    Shims.  Yes, level it before you fill it.  The easiest way to do it is to put shims under the stand, along the whole perimeter, put just enough water in the tank to fill to just above the bottom rim, then level […]
