    You guys are right... the tank is hanging off the sides a little bit... I asked a few ppl prior to setting up the tank and they said that as long as the tank is 90% grounded there shouldnt be any problem!

    You guys have me worried, what problems am I looking at with the sides hanging off slightly??

    The bottom or sides could suddenly shatter, or they could slowly crack. The silicone would eventually pull apart from the strain. The plastic rim on the bottom won't hold forever without support.

    Ok everyone I added another support and somehow, slowly, and steadily managed to level off the tank so now it is 100% grounded!!
