Is it OK to level my pico tank like this?

Since this is only a 3 gallon, is this going to make the glass bend or make the tank leak or anything?

Is it worth it to put it on a board first and then level the board like this?

Im no expert but I think the best solution would be to level a "stand" or piece of wood for that small of a tank rather then just the tank. Leveling like that would create a stress point that could break the tank.

It's too bad your counter is that far out on such a short span, but I agree, small or not you are stressing the glass

Deep inside, I knew that was the answer. I was just feeling lazy and hoping someone would say "it's ok, the tank is so light that you don't need to worry"
