I've seen lower density white foam there also.
That's what I use.

I know most people put the foam in between the tank and the stand, but does anyone put the foam underneath the stand?

I have also seen 1/4" thick sheets of cork that may work and might be more visually pleasing.

How does this foam hold up to the odd spill of saltwater down the edge of the tank? It doesn't eat away at it does it?

I used the white foam and ran black duct tape along the edge, looks good and has zero signs or wear.

I picked up some of the pink foam (polysterne) to put under my tank. I got it from the building supply area.

Couldn't find anything to put under the stand however. Any recommendations?
