I was told it was really important to level the stand, so I was very careful to shim it after I put in in place...

it is a 1/2 inch and tempered.
Thanks for that, I don't think I'll put foam under it unless you really think it's a must...
I don't think I would like to look at it.

I have two tanks 1/2" tempered just sitting on the stand so I would say you are fine without foam. Tempered is 6X stronger than float and will bend a bit as well. Just don't try to drill it as it will explode.

You're describing a "aquagiant" reef-ready tank to a "t".

I have one of those, and so do a few others here. They are good, but can be a bit of an issue to get some plumbing done. The glass ledges inside the overflow come out pretty easily, and I've taken them all out of mine, and put in a durso standpipe. That makes the overflow work a lot better, in my opinion.

except mines not reef ready...
and my dimensions are 50"L X 24"H X 18"W, though now I feel like I need to measure...
the stand and tank are almost identical though...


I'll look into that brand though, thank you for the info.
