In this thread it was unanimous that foam should be underneath an acrylic tank between it and the flat level stand for that extra reassurance.

Now I need to know which kind, Rigid or squishy? I am guessing rigid because we do not want the bottom to bow -at all-. My 350 gallon tank will only be exerting about 1 psi on the foam as its 96x36.

Rigid

Squishy

Squishy also?
 
I had my tank, same dimensions as yours, on rigid insulation board. It was set up for 6 years before I moved. It worked great.
Good luckk
