Hey Mark, I have a question: I have a 70L Dennerle scapers and currently set it close to the floor on a steel shelf with solid wood. Would there be a problem if the front of the tank is poking about 3-4 mm off the shelf in front? I cannot push it further back because of the Seachem Tidal I use and as it is, it's sitting flush against the wall. I hope it won't pose any structural issues. Highly doubt, but I just wanted to confirm. Thank you!
