Hi guys. Can I have your opinions on this please as I'm just unsure of what to do. I've got so much going on at the moment that my judgement and nerves are shot tbh. I'm not sure if this is something that's been going on for a long time or if it's suddenly new but i noticed it today. The issue is on my tmc signature 60x45x45 cm tank I have notice the centre of the stand slightly bowing. The corners are all connected to the stand across both ends but on the length, front and back, I have about 10 cm connection one side and 9cm the other before the stand begins to fall away and in the middle there's a mm gap between stand and glass. Now if I had a foam base it would be fine but you are advised not to use them with these tanks.
I have had movement in the house and there is a fall of 5mm across the waters depth in the tank now (the side where i have 9cm connection is the higher water side, with 10cm connection on the other). Is it possible that this is causing the problem and if so can I just level the tank and it's likely to sort itself out?
So my dilemma and what I'd kinda like your help with please. Do I leave it as it's within tolerance? Do I need to somehow brace the stand and take out the bow? Or do I need a new stand?
I guess I could level it and then try to strengthen it but with only a 1mm disparity I'm not sure it would be that easy to strengthen because my diy skills might not be within that tiny tolerance.
Many thanks in advance
