No foam under bottom?

Yeah you don't need foam. For the most part, if your surface is level, you only need foam if the full bottom pane rests on the surface (no trim).

Thanks guys.
It has no bottom trim. I,m guessing the black band you're looking at is the black silicone.

I have always done as suggested with my tanks over the years. Used foam under a custom made full glass bottom and none under a framed tank, like my 90g AGA.

So I would have used it in this situation but it just does not look good unless framed. Perhaps I could find some black foam. I,m in agreement with those that sya it small size should make it fine but perhaps thats just hoping it will be.

Its half full for leak testing at the moment and ok.

I've never used foam with 30g and less tanks, however I definitely use foam under my 230g tanks.

Ok, so after cleaning this morning, I used a 1/4in. piece of foam and black taped the edges for now. Will try find some black edging for it. Figured may as well be safe. Not a huge investment but dont need the bottom plate cracking and water going down my heater duct.

Thanks for the comments.

Some black rubber will work as well. You'll probably want something under there if it's not framed, I figured it was framed from the pictures.
