Starboard (HDPE) and NEOPRENE FOAM (Good or Bad comments)

Trickman2 · Mar 27, 2018

Planning stages for the a 280 gallon acrylic tank. Leaning toward using Starboard for the bottom and Neoprene foam for leveling. Now comes the questions.

1) Has anyone used Starboard (HDPE)? Tell me about your experiences with it.

2) Has anyone used NEOPRENE FOAM for leveling tanks https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/neoprene-foam.html ?

I would ask the tank builder what they suggest. Under my 450 acrylic, I was told 3/4" rigid foam (think the HD pink stuff). I have not used the neoprene stuff, but it would seem insufficient for the task.
