Not 100% true. Maybe for a rimless tank. But most traditional tanks that have trim on the bottom. You'll notice that only the trim touches the stand. So even if your stand isn't solid base where the tank sits. It will still benefit from styrofoam and only the edges touch anyways. The styrofoam will settle and help take any imperfections out of the stand/tank and allow it to sit more level. Won't solve a large 1/4" spacing. But will help either way.

Unless you're 100% sure your floor, stand and tank are true and level. I'm a firm believer in using Styrofoam in all installs

Some great advice from the man that does it for a living

I had a 220 on carpet. Trust me. Once you move the tank you will always know where it was lol. Agree with all the above

Did any of you try steaming the carpet once the tank was moved? I have seen steamers remove marks left by heavy objects, but never tried it on a carpet that had a big tank on it.

Sunny I sold the tank and redid the basement. Sadly, I wasn't a reefer then or I would have an in wall
