What to Do if Your Tank is Not Level Out of the Box 

 

Tank sizes for 2.5 Cubic Foot models and below: Your black filter tank base is not 
glued to the bottom of your tank.   

 

Occasionally tank bases will become crooked during shipment. 

 

If you find that that your tank does not sit level on the floor, you can easily adjust 
it by holding the  empty tank and rapping it on a concrete or solid floor once or 
twice to level.
