Non Floating Base Help

[willowstwin]

Hi .. again... I'm being a pain today.

I've spotted a perfect nano on ebay, very cheap, however from the pic is seems that all the glass bottom is touching the surface it's stood on (a non-floating base?). Am I correct in thinking that this means I have to get some of that foam base stuff?

how many litres?

for most nano tanks i cant imagine the weight is that much and if the surface you have is nice and flat, i wouldnt worry too much. that said, a bit of cardboard/carpet/poly cant hurt.

it says its around 25 litres, but I've just used the calculator on here and it says 32 maybe they're measuring with the light unit on... I'll get some foam from the lfs to put underneath it. Better safe than sorry

Foam is a good idea. Have known people to use cork board, carpet, lino.

Always best to sit it on somthing soft like foam, polystyrene, cork etc. It just in case you get a grain of sand or a small stone under the tank when you fill it, without a underlay all the wieght & pressure is on that one tiny spot & "crack".
