Styrofoam WILL NOT LEVEL A TANK I can not stress that enough!!!! if the tank is low in a corner, there will me bore water in said corner, and more weigth on the styro, which will compress more, and lead to more water in corner! Styro is fro tanks with no bottom trim. where the bottom pane of glass rests directly on the stand. have a little pebble, or sawdust flake between the stand and the glass, can lead to immense point loading pressures. Styrofoam smothens out the stand irregularities like this. It WILL NOT make a tank sit level on an unlevel stand
