Lol. I’m just trying to do it right and I’m sure I’m not the first person to wonder about it.
I must be in left field. I see no reason to purchase 2 pieces of material. What am I missing?
Standard sheet of foam is 96x48
Tank is 96-1/2 × 24-1/2
Cut your 24-1/2 wide piece the full 96
You have 23-1/2 x 96 left. Can you cut a piece out of that for the patch?
Do it fancy and cut 2 pieces 24-1/2 x 90.
Cut the other 24-1/2 x 6-1/2 out of your scrap piece of 23-1/2 x 96. Straight edge and a 90* square outta do the job.
Do I just use two 48 1/4” pieces and stop overthinking it?
Thanks!

Just another option— 1/2” or 3/4” plywood, with some of this on top of it, directly under the tank. I like it under my 6’ tank. Best wishes
Question.
If you lay down a 1/2" or 3" sheet of plywood, nice and flat, on top of your stand, why use foam or any other substraight ?
I've built several stands this way with no issues.
