Thus it is important to ensure the rack is rigid, sturdy and robust enough to take the weight of the filled tank. Furthermore, it is also important to ensure that the tank is placed on an even surface. Make use of a level tool such as the torpedo level to measure the tank platform horizontally.
A torpedo level is a carpenter's must have tool that is used to gauge how flat and even a surface is. Basically it contains a bubble indicator that positions almost at the center if the surface is horizontal.
The main reason why you need to ensure a stable horizontal support for the aquarium is so that it will not cause filled water tank weight to be shifted unevenly. Uneven platform surface might result in more stress applied to certain parts of tank and this might cause stress cracks eventually.
