Hi Dan

My guide books all state polystyrene about 1/2 inch (1.25 CM) for the base
of the tank.

For the LR; are you going to use a substrate?

Regards


Chris

Hi;
I read about putting some kind of pad under a tank to even out the
pressures
from the stand and tank bottom but no one gives the material.
What sort of material? Styrofoam?

Will carpet pad do?

How thick?

Should I put the LR on egg crate to distribute the weight evenly? Will
there be stagnation in the egg crate under the rock?

This tank is 100g homebuilt with a 5/8th bottom and no trame...the glass
will sit directly on the 1-1/2 platform top.

Many thanks,

Dan
