240 gallon acrylic not leveled

Do you think placing foam underneath the tank would help in this situation?

Maybe, maybe not, but the surface that the tank is in should be level, period. If you put foam under a glass tank, it will shift the weight from the corners of the tank to the bottom panel, and that can be bad.

I had a 20 gallon tank with styrofoam under it, and it was fine for a while, but it eventually started leaking because the styrofoam shifted the weight to the bottom panel, and eventually weakened the seal.
