What to put between glass tank and stand?
Hi guys,
Been out of the game for about 10 years. Just ordered a tank and violins my stand. What is everyone putting between the plywood and glass tank? I think I put pink foam under my acrylic tank, but not sure about glass? Thanks, Nick Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If the tank has a plastic trim you don't need anything.
If the glass itself rests on the stand then a Styrofoam is required.

Thanks, it’s a eurobraced glass tank from SC aquariums. So there’s no plastic.
How thick of foam? 1/2” or 3/4”? Thanks, Nick Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

1/2" should be fine.

Pink looks nice, although it may be another material, it works.

If you bought it from SCA, it will come with the appropriate Styrofoam board to put between the tank and stand.

Yes, mine came in the box with the tank. Almost threw it away as I thought it was just part of the packing.
Mine had a faux wood grain finish to it, thats how I figured out is was for the top of the stand.
