Default tank with trim

Please correct me if I'm wrong, what I understood is that a tank with a half inch trim on the bottom would not need a plywood board underneath it if it was going on a steel stand?

The bottom glass pane of my "new" tank is raised a 3/4 inch on black trim, I filled it up with water a while ago (while it was still on a skid) to make sure it would hold, and it was fine for a couple of months. Yesterday I emptied it, and drilled it, and am currently prepping a steel stand for it and was wondering about plywood as well, as in if it's even a necessary buffer. Also do I need foam under it? or just under the supporting trim, or just under the bottom pane of glass? And by pink foam do you mean the stuff you can get at Home Depot?

Thanks
