Hi Guys,

I last night received delivery of My 300gal tank with a few mates I got it into the house and onto the stand, I had put Polystyrene down ready for the tank to go straight on but the Reef Store guy said I would be better with the matting he had brought, so off went the polystyrene.

We put the tank first of all directly on the baseboard to check if any shimming needed to be done, it needed 2 -3 mm in places so we didn't get the mat underneath as I didnt have shims so that we could get the job finished, got them today and we are now all levelled up.

Problem is I have lost all points with the guys who helped last night as it was to heavy for them. Is there an easy way to put the mat underneath as we need to put 2-3 layers under?

Does it really need to go underneath ?

Thanks

Dave

Does your tank has bottom ABS frame?
If it does, putting anything underneath is not recommended.
