Default 135 gal project...

Since I am not a big fan of drama I did in fact use styrofoam under the
tank. I look at it as an ounce of prevention is worth 3/4 ton of cure,
thanks to the many fine folks here in the group.

Update:
#A- The stand was clearcoated with a clear "polycrylic" water based
liquid that I sprayed on in two coats. I found on my other stands that
if I scrubbed the paint the splatter color would start to wear off. Now
I clear them with water proof stuff. (The deck clear was not good
because "natural clear" was not clear at all! It was brownish color
clear)
#B- The tank has styrofoam and is filled for a 24 hour leak test, hour
three and all is well.

I'm not a big fan of "massive drama".
Thanks, Karl.

P.s. One daunting thought I have been evading.... How does one do a 25%
water change on one of these monsters? That's like what, six+ 5 gallon
water juggs? Plus my other (55, 55, 29gal) tanks!
