Hi there, new to the site, first post.
I bought a 29 gallon aquarium, and found a cool cabinet to hold it. I beefed it up inside with a secondary 2x4 frame so it is good and strong.
I placed the tank on there and noticed the top of the cabinet is not perfectly flat. It sort of bows down in the middle so if you are squatting and looking at eye level at the bottom of the tank, there is a small gap under the tank in the middle.
Naturally I’m a little concerned what this could do to the structural integrity once the aquarium is full. Does it matter? Will it place too much pressure in the middle? I think so, so now need to figure out how to fix it. Any ideas? Only thing I can think of is find something flat to put down first, like a thick board at least the footprint of the tank, maybe stick something in the middle of it underneath for support.
Thank you,
