I'll be building a stand for a new 90 gallon drilled tank, so I'm going with
an edge supported design. The whole idea makes me a little nervous to be
honest, but it seems fairly common. But I'm wondering how you cushion the
edges, since there is no bottom under the tank. I have a sheet of Styrofoam
under my present 75 gallon, but this won't work with a bottomless design.

Could you further describe your edge supported aquarium.

I have built (with some technical support from an aquarium mfr. who was
a friend of mine). I have built one with all glass and silicone and
placed it directly on a wooden stand (pine) with support on ALL edges,
I did not use any styro.
