Hey guys I have a 420l tank rested on an oak unit. The unit has an inch or 2 overhang from the tank but is bowing slightly in the middle.

I got a level on the tank and stand and the tank is level but the front of the stand where it bows a few mm isnt. Does it sound like anything to worry about?

Ive attached the pics above. The first 3 pics are the stand from left to right. The last 3 pics are the lid middle left then right. The level on the lid matches ontop of the glass. Sorry if thats confusing ive left my 4ft level at work so had to use my 18" one. The pics also show the stand overhang from the glass.
 
My 210 gallon is similar.. the stand is level all the way around... but top of tank isnt... I'm assuming it's because the plastic cap around the tank is silicone on out of level... there will be minor imperfections like that depending on where you level.. for example trim around a stand might not be level but the flat top the tank sits on is or a canopy may be off slightly from the actual top of tank

In my case the glass is level but the stands out. Think its anything to worry about?

It depends... can you show a pic of the level on the stand but a front view instead of top down? You may have the level on the stand trim which may be off slightly from the actual stand itself... if the tank is level the stand should be too... and the most important thing is that the tank is level
