	Water Level
BeastKeeper Big Fish Posts: 444 Kudos: 389 Votes: 47 Registered: 27-Apr-2004	if the water in a fish tank is not level because the aquarium is on an angle, will it have an effect on the fish or tank?

Like ConKhi & Vic said, it may shatter or the seals will come off. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

But then again, it is just a 10 gallon... I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
