Good evening all!
Finally getting back into it. Got me a nice used 120 gallon shallow rimless frag tank set up for a deal I couldn't refuse. Seems to be in amazing condition. The question I have is this, do the glass panels normally sit on top of the bottom panel or do they sit on the outside of the bottom panel? This tank has the panels sitting on the outside of the bottom panel. Reason for me asking is that the previous owner had it set up directly on a plywood top stand while I would prefer to place the tank on at least 1/4" foam however I have seen some smaller tank builds where all the pressure of the rimless tank is on top of the bottom panel. I'm wondering if both methods call for the same recommendation to be placed on foam.
Thank you!
