Not to put gasoline on the fire, but I believe Twinfallz has a valid point.

Technically, (on paper) the foam-and-plywood method should work.

If the floor is perfectly level, but the only problem is uneven tiles, the foam should fill in the gaps and work well - as illustrated.

This also has the advantage of keeping the wooden stand off the floor, preventing moisture from damaging the wood. It will also prevent damage to the floor from the weight of the tank. I actually did this when I installed tanks on customer's hardwood floors. I only used foam, and not plywood, but I believe plywood would actually work better.

The weight of the tank will prevent it from being wobbly over the styro.

I have had Styofoam™ sheets under tanks for decades and have never seen it loose it's sponginess.
