    Hi,
    I am setting up a 1.5ft tank under my 4ft tank. I need to raise the level of the 1.5ft tank. Does anyone know where can I buy a large piece of 2 or 3inch thick foam? I saw some renovation contractors using this to raise the height of flooring before cementing the area.

    Thanks.

    MS

    Try art shops at Bras Besar Complex. ArtFriend is one you can try. ArtFriend is also at Ngee Ann City

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Why don't you buy multiple styrofoam and get the height you want?
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

    Ya, for that you won't need to travel to town to get them. Popular and such bookstores in neighbourhoods already has the 1inch ones.

    I need to raise the1.5ft tank by about 10inches. If the thickness of the foam is to little, I need more stacking.

    Any ideas?

    10 inches?!

    I suggest you stacked some wood at the bottom with a layer of styrofoam at the top.

    Does anyone know if they cut the styrofoam?

    Or if C328 sells them?

    I wanna get a piece for my 2ft, just to protect the base.

    having plywood only is not a good idea. the styrofoam is meant to level out the uneveness of the tank bottom.
