How big is the tank?
This cardboard sounds like a bad idea. You want to shim the stand, not the tank. If you have it such that the bottom of the tank is not flush with the stand, I'd empty and start again.
My tank (72 gallons) has been just a little off level for almost a year with no problems FWIW. It does worry me a little though.

Mine is slightly off level also. Mine leans forward. Been bothering me for the past year but i havent had any problems. If your just starting the tank up I would empty it and level it off. Level the stand, not the tank.
