Rubber mat under aquarium

[Sunee]

I am thinking under the aquarium, on top of the stand.

I know many people use ridgid foam insulation but my stand has a flat top and I do not want to look at the edge of insulation (besides my husband said no way as it is in our living room). I think that the neoprene / rubber matting would look a whole lot better.

Oh I had never thought of that. I would think the sand would be enough to cover what needs to be covered? a very interesting topic that never crossed my mind. Thanks for the clarification.

Mark, thanks. I had thought about covering insulation with moulding but I would rather work with a mat (I think). Thanks again.
