So what will the thicker foam (1") accomplish? Will it provide more compression than the 1/2"? Plus, I have calculated the space between the header and the tank pretty tight to fit in the return plumbing. If I take away a half inch things may get dicey.

I could switch if it's better for the tank in the long run.

when you put water in there and Glass having no flex to a point. the Styrofoam will give that more support. so on heavier tanks thicker foam is used

I have no issues with the 1/2" styrofoam. Ask Dave or Denny which thickness they suggest.
