I've read/seen in almost all builds that the pink extruded foam is used and recall that the pink foam is the only one to be used. last night I went to my local menards to pick up 1" foam and they now only stock a yellow one( different brand) that apparently has the same specs/ratings as the pink one (different manufacturers)... so is it ok to use something other than the pink foam... should I return this and get the 1.5" in pink which they have in stock?
Pink foam under tank question
- Thread starter Chalu
- Start date
Yup this is for a glass tank, ~210G custom starfire with a 1/2" bottom. I have always used the white "expanded" styro in the past but they were all smaller tanks less than 100G's...I always thought the white styro has a better composition to even out anything less than flat... but with so many people using the pink..I'm sure there's something I need to know
What size is you tank?
Thanks! I should've paid attention to your sig; to be sure the white foam is what is normally sold as "expanded foam"?
OK I picked up both the styro... one is the regular plain white one and the other has the tin foil backing but on both sides and is Yellow color. ... which one is recommended
