I don't think that is the cause, I have never use any foam under a glass
tank and have never had a leak.

I would advise that you try to determine the cause of the leak before

you
end up going through the whole proccess again....



I already determined it, just a few minutes after the post. I don't know

how
I did it, I've set up a dozen large tanks, and never forgot it before, but

I
forgot the foam underneath it. I don't know how I forgot, but I did. Dumb,
dumb, dumb.

Right, the lfs's in this town no longer advise the use of foam under a tank,

Odd. I always took for granted it was needed. Learn something new every
day.

on an acrylic tank I do believe it is required to prevent pressure points
that cause cracks.

Got it empty and dried out, and I can't for the life of me find anything but
pristine silicone on all joints. Thinking of slathering on some silicone
anyway, and hope for the best.
