Right, but the driftwood has been in the tank since day one. I did boil the pieces before placing them, and the tank remained crystal clear until it rapidly changed color at the one month mark. I changed the carbon out last night, so I'll do another water change tonight to see what happens.

I read that the carbon helps with discoloration. It also says to change it every month. Since the first month has expired, it is possible that my existing carbon was working to counteract the driftwood's tannin effect and is no longer working? I did really doubt that the fish food (although...

I recently changed to Omega One Super Color Flakes. Now my water is turning to a orange/brown color. I got this tank started about a month ago with a Fluval 306 canister filter which came with carbon. Is it possible that the food is coloring my water or is it that the carbon needs to be...

I took the tank back to the fish store, and they swapped it out for another setup without the gap. I just added my first few fish today. I didn't get the chance to properly cycle the tank as my wife was tired of looking at its lifelessness. I used a bottle of Safestart, so I hope this stuff...

I filled the tank and let it sit for three days. The gap got smaller, but it is still there. The store where I purchased it from has agreed to exchange the stand. Thank you everyone for the help. I think I'm going to be better off safe than sorry.

I filled the tank to the top this evening, and the gap is still there. I don't know if I should empty it and sand it flat, or just leave it be.

The weird thing about the silicone on the bottom exterior is that it is spread fairly evenly around the entire perimeter. There is just a one inch piece missing, and that material is still attached and hanging out.

I shimmed under the stand, and the top rim of the tank is perfectly level. The issue is that the back support of the stand is slightly bowed so that the high point is fairly left of center. The tank sits flush with the right side, but when the connection hits the high point, there is a gap all...

I just purchased a 45 gallon Aqueon ensemble which came with a pine stand. When I set it up, I noticed light coming between the tank and the stand. I have about a 1/16" gap under the back corner which spans the back edge about three inches. Also, there is a very small gap running the central...
