Maby this should be in diy section. Not sure

just got this fluval setup all cleaned up and filled with rodi. I guess the floor isnt level and water level is off on one side by about 1/3 inch. Wondering how you guys recommend shimming and leveling it. The bottom/legs of stand is U shaped like this -> |___|

if i do only one side then the entire back part of stand looses contact with the ground. What do you guys suggest. I want to make sure its level first so i know its safe and also it doesnt look good this way.

looks like the sides go all the way to the top, you will be fine shimming just the one side... looks like you could slide your arm under to shim the back after if it makes you feel more secure..
