Trailblazur Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Are leveling mats recommended for large acrylic aquariums? If so, which kind would be best🤔 Thanks🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Any flat bottomed tank you'd be better with a mat. I am not sure about size compared to how thick the mat should be or at what size that mat isn't viable anymore. There's a variety of types you can use. Be it a yoga mat, tool shelf liner, or something designed and made for aquariums. I've seen people use styrafoam as well. https://www.amazon.com/aquarium-leveling-mat/s?k=aquarium+leveling+mat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 From what I have read you don't need a leveling Mat with acrylic tanks as long as they are on a flat level surface 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chertan Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) A little late to the topic, but I just purchased a CFL 40 gallon along with a custom built stand for the tank, and asked the manufacturer this same question. They said it's not exactly required but is recommended. For my size tank they recommended a 1/2" foam pad. No specific brand or anything, but I asked if EVA foam would be suitable and they said that's fine. Hope this helps!
