After I scaped a tank, that took one week to do, I discovered that my brother, that was suppose to manage the placing of the tank, had put a wrongly fit underlay under the tank.
The tank is glass only. No frame.
First reaction was to fix it, but I started to reason, due to laziness, is it really necessary to cover the entire bottom (incl. side windows) of the tank?
The underlay cover the full bottom glass though (that are glued inside the side windows to say), but misses most of the side glasses. See attached drawing.
Ive done this before, app. 15 years back and it worked practically without any known issues with a tank that was larger, but this tank is in our living room now and it would be great to hear others input and experiences.
What do you think about this? Does it make any difference? theoretically? strenght wise? pressure wise?
Does the side windows even need any underlay? why/why not etc...
