How to properly support a tank..?

[fish-boy13]

hey guys i have just ordered a tank and its all glass, it has no black trimming so im guessing the whole bottom glass will be sitting on my stand...now im not entirely sure how to properly support this whether it is best to put a thick styrofoam under it or just a small one...If anyone has ideas on what would work the best let me know, as well as how thick the styro should be...my tank is 135 Gal 72x24x18.

Thanks guys

What kind of stand are you gonna use? Prebuilt from a store or a DIY stand?

What I did with my DIY stand is topped the stand with a 3/4" piece of plywood and then put a 3/4" piece of styrofoam on top of that. This is what the tank manufacturer recommended. Anyways 3/4" foam is fine my 240 gallon does'nt even compress the foam or at least not very much..
