yur funny, no i have a raised bottom. the glass is about an inch off the stand. its on an aluminum frame. its not suggested to put foam under yur tank unless the glass itself is actually laying on the surface of your stand. if yur stand warps, especially the DIY's. the foam will buff that a little anyway. now as to a round bottom, that would be good cause it could slowly rock back and forth and act as a surge device. no i wasnt serious

My tanks are all raised off a little, I haven't seen any tanks that rest directly on the glass, I am sure they are out there but far and few between?

for you IA owners do they have a raised bottom or are they flat?
