Foam under a SeaStar tank?

Um no, Brad, any leak is a bad thing - otherwise Borderjumper would be overjoyed right now...

I don't get how the styrofoam under the tank would be a bad thing. If the glass is supported, then it's supported and should be stronger.
I can see if the supporting structure is uneven or warped, then you would have a problem.

I think it's a very fine line between the bottom glass being supported, and the bottom glass being pushed up by the foam as the edges compress down.
