Not to be a downer as you have come this far. But you should NOT put styro under a tank with the black plastic trim on it. Its creates uneven pressure on the glass which can crack the bottom (if I remember correctly that is the reason). Also use the pink stuff if your going to use any styro as it does not compress as much as the white.

The build looks good so far though.

I may retract that looking closer at your pic's. Do you have the gap between stand and glass or is it a L shape on the bottom and the glass sits flat on the plastic, if that makes sense?
