Any body have any scrap 3/8 acrylic?

I am trying to shim my tank and the furthest corner needs to be shimmed 3/8 of an inch. I have been using composite shims I bought from home depot but they only get to be 1/4 inch. I was thinking that acrylic would be a good shim. Anybody have some scraps I could use? thanks, Tom

I just found a hardwood pants hanger that is exactly 3/8 inch. I didn't want to use those door shim cause there kinda soft. I am afraid it will compress under all of the weight. However I'm probably just being paranoid.

I think that I have solved the problem with this hanger i found. The tank is now completely level. Now I just need to fill in as many shims as I can in between the four corners to distribute the weight. I put 20 gallons of water into the tank before I realized that it wasn't level so I have been lifting up the extra 160 lbs plus the weight of the tank and stand in order to put these shims in... I am strong like bull. My back kinda hurts though. Thanks anyway

How big of a piece you need?
