Re: Tank cushion?



I agree, so I built a stand of 6 4x4 legs under a 2x6 frame with 2x6
'joists' on 12" centers.  the top is a 24"x63" sheet of 1/2" MDF screwed to
the frame with another sheet glued to it's top (all joints are glued and
screwed).  Although this gives a truly flat and smooth finish I am adding
1/4" of laminate flooring underlayment (foam pad).

I would think that a tank loaded on its side panels would be far more liable
to a rupture of the sealing compound under shear stress than a tank with the
UK design i.e. flat bottom glass supporting sides and ends and laid on a
flat support with carpet or other pad to even out any imperfections.
