Uneven Tank, Should I Fix?

I’ve just moved house and my new room has an uneven floor, as pictured.
I’m trying to convince my dad to help me lift my dresser (solid pine wood, what my tank is on) to put blocks under neath to balance it out.
He doesn’t seem to think anything will happen to the tank and I’m fussing about pressure on the tank walls since it’s uneven.

Is it uneven enough that it could ruin the tank etc??

I have a dennerle 30l glass aquarium with the protective pad underneath the tank it is supplied with.

It appears to only be slightly off level. I live in an old cottage without a single level floor, I have never bothered to level of my tanks and none have had any problems. My smallest tank is 12 G glass and my biggest is 120 G acrylic and all are at least as far off horizontal as yours.

That should be fine as long as the entire bottom of the tank is touching the dresser. The only thing about that that would bother me is the slightly uneven water line

You could try just pounding a shI'm in under the dresser legs on the low side. When you get it close to level, break off the part of the shI'm that sticks out and no one will be likely to even notice.

for a 30L it'll be fine. I have a 29G (120L) that is tilted back a bit. on larger tanks it'll be a problem b/c the unevenness increases the pressure of weight of the water more to the leaning side panel.
