Fish tank not flush with stand

Nytaxation

Reefing newb
A friend of mine gave me a 72" tank with stand but the whole left side of tank is off stand about a quarter of an inch...I took tank off stand and placed on flood and it's flush with floor...so I'm assuming it's the stand...is there anything I can do or should I just buy a new stand...thanks ahead of time
 
I would fill it up some with just some tap water and see if it compresses with the weight.. I think that you will find that it will with the weight of the tank with water..
 
The styrofoam will just collapse, I think. I have always used wood shims to level out my stands (the floors in my house are weirdly uneven).
 
It's not my floor...if I put tank on floor it's flush...I put it on stand and I have about quarter of inch that's not touching the stand.
 
I think the styrofoam panels will help to balance it out. It'll absorb and balance the weight out between the tank and the stand.
