Foam or no foam

[Davesfragtank]

Hello we are currently framing up for a inwall mixed reef tank the big question is should we use foam under the tank I been looking online and seems be mixed opinions so just wanted to ask fellow reefers thanks

You could , I forgot to put something down under my 120g , I doubt I personally would use foam , but I like the idea of a weight mat just roll out and cut it , regardless just make sure your surface is clean and you’ll be fine either way

+1 for foam
Even if there is framing I understand that it’s still best to distribute the heavy weight of your tank evenly

I use foam, especially if there is no plastic rim so that if anything like a screw looses or any imperfections will not stress the glass. Even if it is just a yoga mat

I was think use that pink rigid foam board the stand prob won’t be 100% true

When I got my tank from Miracles, 84x30x24, it has a plastic rim but they told me to use 1/2 white styrofoam on top of the wood stand

I was planning a custom from them, they only warranty if you use Styrofoam. With a custom they provide it I think. That should speak volumes on it in my opinion
