Well if you look at the tanks that Hagen builds they have the black strip on the tank that has it sitting about 1/4" off the stand, However the bottom piece is tempered. Now with that being said when not tempered you need to have some piece of styofoam under the tank in case the stand is not 100% level to react to the uneven stand and give you a piece of mind just in case the stand shifts...
