Q. What kind of a stand do I need for a Reef Savvy aquarium?
A. Professionally built by a carpenter or aquarium stand manufacturer. It should be perfectly level, with a solid hardwood plywood top and minimum of 3/4″ foam on top of the plywood. It must have a completely solid top, and may not sit on the perimeter of the stand like off the shelf aquariums with plastic trim, which ours do not have. Aquariums must come flush to stand edges, they cannot hang over edges or be supported by undersized stands. All intended structural support points must be in contact with their intended surface. Modifications made to our stands will void warranty. If you’re not using one of our stands, please email us your plans for approval. DIY home made stands that have not been approved by Reef Savvy or incorrectly built stands will void warranty.
Q. Do I need to put foam under my aquarium?
A. Yes, we recommend the 3/4″ insulation white foam available at your local home improvement store. The pink foam will work too.
Q. Do rimless aquariums have any bracing?
A. Most rimless aquariums will have perimeter bracing on the inside bottom. Some of the smaller ones do not.
