I was hoping you would reply. This is what you recommend on your stands? I realize yours are metal.

This is what I do with ALL my tanks regardless of how there made. Wood or metal I use 3/4" plywood on the top , then 1/2" ridged pink styrofoam. I like to put a molding around the bottom of the tank as well to hide the foam & bottom edges of the glass.

Good info thanks.I was thinking I would use foam just wasn't sure of which option. I have the white polybead styrofoam I guess I'll pick up some of the pink rigid tomorrow.
