not sure if tank is sturdy enough?

[Jarrett]

ok im starting to get a little nervous considering i have a 45 gallon tank on top of my desk and the water on the left is about a half inch higher then the water on the right obv meaning my floor isn't level, my guess is because its carpet. but i am curious should i be worrying about this or no because its a very slight differance?

I kind of worried also. You consider water weighs a little over 8 lbs per gallon. You multiply that times 45 and that`s a pretty good size piece of weigh on the desk. It`s the same as a 350 lbs person standing on your desk. I`d be worried also.

Half an inch is a pretty big difference. Can you reinforce the desk? Is the tank new or fully stocked?

Ya that was just an estimate i actually vame home and measured and the differance was less then 3/8th the tank was actually tiling forward not side to side i pounded two 2x4 on both sides of the tank in the front to prop it back up you think ill be ok now?

I think I would move it to be safe. Should be good with reinforcement but build a stand anyway. also a tank that isn't level puts a lot of stresson the glass
