Re: Should i foam it ??
I agree witth you reel. Just seems to make more sense. ??? Randle why did you go from a 60 to a 28 gallon tank?? Seems to be a BIG differance.

Re: Should i foam it ??
I used an anti fatigue mat that I bought at Home cheapo. The mat is what they use in restaurant kitchens. It was around $20. It's a little less than 1" thick. I cut it into 3 long strips and put my tank on that. I used some wood on top to hold it in place and used a small amount of foam only in each corner. It is a plastic 52 gallon tank. http://www.overtons.com/modperl/prod...ew&i=30458
I'll post some pictures soon - hopefully tonight Carl

Re: Should i foam it ??
Here the foam that was under the old 46 gallon tank. I probably took out 150 pounds of wet foam
 Here it is all cleaned out and the rubber strips ready to be placed under the tank

Re: Should i foam it ??
Scott,
Foamed my 45 gal. when I reinstalled. However, before installation I cut 1 1/2 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe in half and laid it along both sides of the keel for drainage. Put in some foam to hold the pvc drains, set the tank in and added more foam. Sorry, don't have any pictures, will try to do better.
