Need help with tank stand

[Surfside74]

Hello,
I am building a new tank and need some help. I went with the SC150 gallon rimless tank with external overflow. I am putting it on an alufab aluminum stand. My question is what should I put on top of the stand for the tank to sit on. I was going to use 1/2 pvc board and then some type of foam or compression type material. I’ll take any ideas anyone has before I do his. Thank you.

Actually, that sounds perfect. That is what IM does for their tanks. PVC board is a non- expanding material and the foam will take up any small imperfections. You can also use neoprene for that layer.

Just found it. They said 3/4 plywood or high density pvc board of same size.

They said 1/8” Leveling mat. I have that already. I was just looking to do something other than wood but it will be fine if I use it I guess
