What to put under the sump?
Is the pink insulating Styrofoam (I believe they are a quarter inch) sufficient to put underneath the sump? If not, what would you use?

Are you using it to keep the sump level?

I just used a neopreme sheet, like a pond liner. Deadens the sound and keeps the wood bone-dry

Are you talking for an acrylic sump? If so, yes that works. Thats what I have under mine.
