Hey hey,
I was looking for some advice regarding an issue with an aquarium stand I just finished building ‘my first ever DIY project’. I was hoping there was someone with a lot more experience than I have that has encountered such an issue and how they have/would remedy it. The issue can be seen on the picture of the corner of the tank, that is the glass is not sitting flush with the plywood. This gap equals about 3 pieces of paper in thickness and is only occuring in this one locations. The tank that will be sitting on the stand is 36 x 16 x 16 inches.
The main questions that I would really love to hear peoples’ opinions on are.
1. I have the foam cut that will sit under the tank, is this enough to make this stand safe for my aquarium?
2. Should I attempt to plane down the timber under the plywood and make it more level? A note to this is I attempted to keep it level through out the build using a hand plane and I am not sure I have the ability to correct this gap.
Any advie would be much appricated,
Cheers,
Hayden
