Ok so I get the foam not providing support on the low spots cause potential stress points. That made me think and now I dont think my foam idea was that great. Shimming it will be and it how I did it when I used to do aquarium installs, just thought I had a light bulb moment. Yes foam under the tank is a good idea especially if the tank has no plastic frame. Thanks for all the help and input. Shims are on my ever grow Homedopt list.
When in doubt, contact your tank manufacturer, they are the ones that make the final call on what gaurantee they provide, and this goes for both stand, and whether or not to use foam between the tank and stand, each manufacturer will vary on that depending on tank design.
