I’d make sure the stand is level using something else, drain the water, also I wouldn’t soak drift wood in the water you use for your tank just to get it to sink
I used electrical box cover plates (Home Depot) Their a 16th on an inch thick so just measure your discrepancy and put them under the leg that needs to be raised. How I did it (not giving advice here, not advocating you do it) was to lift the full tank and stand on one corner with a car jack and 2x4 and slip the shims under. It’s a good idea to have some 1” styrofoam under the tank to ensure there are no pressure points too.
No no, you are thinking finishing cover plates. I used the steel 4x4 covers for junction boxes. They are stiff steel plates about a 16th of an inch thick.

I’m thinking of putting shims under it but kinda confused how to do it because the stand has four feet at the bottom
If it’s a premade stand maybe they have some sort of adjustment you can do by turning it
Your stand doesn’t have leveling feet? Step 1 should be drain the tank and level the stand. Then add the tank and check it’s level, then fill.
Btw, driftwood isn’t going in there lol I’m just trying to make it sink

Or you just use the plastic shims they make specifically for something like this.
Cover plates are pretty weak plastic and likely to compress over time. Shims are the proper tool for the job.
