Welcome to Gaia! ::

im sorry .... that really sucks

What kind of stand do you have?

If your stand is indeed causing it to be that uneven I would suggest either getting a new stand or finding some way to fix it, because if there is a weak spot in it somewhere it could collapse. The last thing you want is 55 gallons of water and fish on your floor, I'm sure. rofl

I keep my 55gal on a sturdy wooden set of drawers that two 300lb men could tap dance on all day, and even that makes me nervous sometimes lol. (Then again, I'm a very paranoid woman.)

Anyways, find yourself a leveler so you can see exactly what is causing the tilt. You can probably find one at a hardware store if you don't have one.

It's a neat little tube of water with a bubble floating in it. Looks something like this.


If you find out it's your floor that isn't level, well take Prince Sushi's advice and prop one side up. Make sure it's as even as you can get it. Only do it if you're 100% sure that whatever is propping it up can't get knocked out by accident~

Good luck with figuring out what the problem is!

Ooh, I see what you are saying now.

Hope it works itself out then! (:

I don't have a level, but my 30g was quite uneven when I set it up as well. I had to stick some wood slats under two of the legs. Now the water level is maybe a cm higher on one side. Good enough.

Mine is close to my window ... unfortunately there's nowhere else to put it, as I have a fairly small room. As long as I keep the window shut it seems to mantain temperature just fine. I do have to keep the heater up a bit high, though, since my room gets to be like 60 sometimes.
