Ya, I like to keep the styrofoam about 1/4" larger than the tank on all sides. I usually just cut the sheets into 2" strips and put that around the perimeter of the tank, and then a small patch in the center to help keep the bottom from bowing. If the tank has trim you obviously don't need the patch in the center.

Ok, I'll slice it down the middle and spread it out a half inch. Better safe than wet, I always say!
Now to find someone strong enough to lift the end of the 180 !
