Right, but putting the foam between the tank and the stand is totally different than putting the foam between the stand and the floor.
If there are minor imperfections in the stand surface or small protrusions then the these will press into the surface of the foam and it will protect the tank, but putting foam between the tank and the stand won’t level the tank at all which is what we are trying to do here.
As I said above, trying to level the stand with foam will not work. Either the foam will be too soft and there will be no support on the low spots or it will be too stiff and it won’t compress enough on the high spots.
