What type of foam should I use?

Is there a diff in using 1/2 or 1"? Thanks

I don't think so, but the thinner is easier to hide. I'd use 1/4 if I could find it. You just want to absorb any imperfections in the tank/stand interface. I've used a foam underlay on my smaller tanks, works fine.

1/2" pink from Totem is all I have used even under the 8'er. As long as your stand top is really smooth and flat 1/2" is more then enough IMO but if its some what wavy use thicker to compensate for that.

Brad,

Thanks! BTW, how's that Snappy violet digi frag doing? I also have a nice blue digi from Spencer and can drop a frag to you sometime during my move if you are still interested>

The pink stuff 1/2" has worked well for me in the past.
