someone lent me a old 100 gallon tank to use for an aquaculture/aquaponic experiment. part of the "challenge" is to do this as cheaply as possible. therefore, i'd like to just set the tank up directly on the basment floor. i realize it might not be completely level but am thinking the greatest risk would come from uneven "pressure points" putting unequal pressure on the filled tank. do you think that an inch or so of styrofoam would be sufficient to absorb minor imperfections in the floor? other ideas? maybe a combo of a dense layer of styro over a less dense layer that can better absorb the pertubations in level of the concrete floor?
my other option currently is to put an old 6 foot wood pallet down first, 1/2 inch plywood and then a thin layer of foam. i already have the pallet and 1/2 inch ply so it fits w/ the frugal challenge i'm doing.
