The foam only has to compress maybe 1/16th of an inch. will the foam compress enough on the corners to make up the diffence

How big is the tank? My new 36x24x21" tank has the same issue, opposite corners have combined 1/16" gap. I'm going to use 1/2" rigid styrofoam under my tank. If your tank is a nano you'll need to find something that compresses easier like maybe the white softer styrofoam.
