I like the bar sink, nice touch there  ;)

Thanks, I'll take pix and post the progress later.  The water and waste lines were really close, so the sink will come in handy.

If the side glass sit on top of the bottom pane I think it's fine, if your tank has the sides go to the bottom and the center-bottom pane is sandwiched between them then I have read not to put anything under the glass, so I guess it depends on what manufacture your tank is from

I don't think I've ever seen a tank built that way...

That seems like you're just asking for the bottom to fall out.

Reading that made my head hurt, lol.  Just looking to even out the pressure to be safe.  I've never used foam before, but it makes sense to me.
