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. swarvegorilla wrote: The one bit of glass you don't wanna crack is the bottem bit therefor a layer of styrofoam is needed. it saves massive drama later on massive drama!!! :-) 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! ;\ |
