[AquaticLife] Re: X2.... Q#3.

 

Hi John.
Nope, the table sags a bit in the center if you look down the end along the length. that would be the better of the two I would think, since the longer of the tank sides sit flat. I'll get some small wooden shims, [wedges], since you have had success with that. Ya you're right; I won't bother with the foam, I'm sure they make the bottom glass plenty strong enough.

Thanks John.
