Default How level is level

I have a 180. I have been building it in wall. I am 1/16th off left to right. Is this OK?

NO, on a 6 foot tank thats huge. I would definitely Shim up the Tank. Take some measurements with water in the system as well. If this is a reef ready system your over flows will not operate correctly. A Reef Ready tank should always be Perfectly Level. Not to mention that an uneven tank can create stress on the tank and seams.
