We'd probably have to see the stand to answer that, but it sounds like you may want to look at getting a new one unless you have some crazy sanding skills, and a floor sander lol.

Probably not the problem but how big(wattage) was the heater and was it in contact with the glass? In theory the heater could crack the glass. I'm sure I'm not the first to put a light too close to the top of the tank and crack the cover.
Only place foam is useful is on glass tanks with solid bottoms. It does nothing to level a tank nor protect from warped, twisted or bowed stands. Whether it be factory or DIY.
