Foam or no foam?
I think I am going to use foam under my new tank regardless but am just curious as to what you guys think?
It is glass with a bottom trim...I have heard so many different opinions on whether you need foam or not. I am designing the stand now and foam will change the plans slightly so I just want to be sure. The tank is 72"x30"x22" tall.

Foam is pretty cheap insurance especially on a home built stand that is bound to have minor imperfections, I used a laser level setting the stand for my tank and it still settled after filling (3000lbs) and the high density foam crushed down to half the thickness. Don't know how much of a difference it makes but I feel better about it.

I agree with the foam. A full tank is an amazing amount of weight on any stand.

agreed. Especially when you add crossed arms and a nod....then there's no saying "no"
