Where to get styrofoam to cushion tank base?

[PeterGwee]

Guys! Any info where I can get styrofoam cut to size for cushioning of my tank base...current one does not have though. Any danger of tank base cracking with those 2tier 2ft metal stands commonly sold in lfs without styrofoam cushioning?

Peter, what size and how many do you need? I have some sitting around that might fit.

The styro is help even out concentrated pressure on a single or several small points from an uneven surface. So, don't skip that.

Vinz..thanks for the offer..but can I get those from LFS or hardware shops? The thought of going all the way to paya lebar is too troublesome...[]

Peter, many stationary shops sell the styrofoam pieces you are looking for. School children often have to buy them to do projects.

u can get it from bras basah, comes in all sizes and thickness

peter, a much better and nice option to strofoam is the air-con foam. You can get this at System Control & Engineering. It's thicker than strofoam, more like a rigid sponge and is a nice black colour.

budak, those black foam is actually used for insulation... and plus i think it isnt as compact as styrofoam

it's much more compact than styrofoam
however, it's not as compressible
i'm using it for my 2ft custom
perfect cushioning
ymmv

the tank base cushioning material should be only slightly compressible. otherwise your tank will not be stable.

Art Friend at Bras Basah COmplex offers styrofoam boards at different thicknesses and nice sizes (in feet)
