Zoom, If he gets AO (aquarium obsessed) tank, don't they suggest that you install tank on sheet of foam supported by stand under tank? Outside small holes drilled in stand for plumbing, I think entire bottom would be supported, no? Trying to remember how Sanjay's is on the bottom and if glass rests on foam or if it's just frame that does.

page 15 of sanjay's thread is best I could find on quick scan of empty tank shots: http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...&pagenumber=15 but hard to tell if glass sits on foam.
