Hey guys the water on my tank is a little higher in one side and shorter on the other very little difference but should I be worried

ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1414263744.324053.jpg I just finished setting it up a month ago :(

Any advice should I be worried?
 
Hi, if your floor is sound, is it wood or concrete? how many gallons? is it on a stand or sideboard ? if these are ok, just top it up so you cant see it........
 
Get some shims at home depot or wherever and put them under the stand to level the tank. How big is it?

I had the same problem with my tank (same size)...uneven floor. I placed some round felt pads to level it out. Not quite 100% level (sorry to disappoint you Brookster :) ) but I do have some shims that I can slide under there to make it perfect.
Nice DW and moss combo there.

Nice tank. How well do those in tank water testers work? I've thought about getting then but wasn't sure about them

They seem ok
Not sure if I will buy again
Only last 3 months and they cost about 14$

Don't think its worth the money
 
Hi.. I have a 75g hexagon. Very crowded! I did a 50% water change 2 months ago & lost some fish. Tank was too clean & nitrate was too high. I've read & spoke with experts & I was told not to do a 50% change. 20% is norm. 30% at the most. After researching, I decided to get a uv sterilizer for water clarity , diseases, & help with the water balance. Also less water changes! I had approx. 65 fish until last week, I put a elephant nose in my tank bcuz I was told from Petco specialist that it was not aggressive. He has eaten approx. 30 fish within 7 days. Not happy but OK bcuz I decided to turn it to an aggressive tank. Bigger & colorful. I like your tanki love the greenery. My fish ate my plants. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1415647546.650569.jpg

Oh yeah, I replaced Prime with startsmart complete. I also give my tank a garlic treatment every once in a while, also help with diseases & health. A great ONE stop MAINTENANCE product. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1415648481.315697.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1415648481.315697.jpg
