hi All,
So I recently got a 32 gal landen rimless tank, and after quite a bit of waitting, building a stand, shimming it level, I've filled it with a few inches to see how it settles in, and Ive discovered, not surprisingly, that I have a really old crappy bouncy floor. Its not a full on trampoline, but walking by the tank I can see vibrations, and thats- Im guessing- not great.
Place is old and on piers. Ive been spending a lot of time and money in the miserable filthy crawlspace below trying to shore it up, but it doesn't seem to be helping a ton, yet anyway.
So My question is, for those who know rimless tanks and this issue (I hope you are out there), how bad is it to have a flexing floor? Foot stomps creat vibrations.. Im still trying to make headway but I would imagine its stressful for fish and maybe the tank.
I have a leveling pad and a second I could potentially add, as the first tank was shipped in a cardboard box and not shockingly broken.. I was also considering buying a rug with memory foam pad underneath to help with vibrations...
Any wisdom?? Thank you!
