Aquarium Foam Base Mat
Available in various sizes to fit most popular aquarium sizes.
Using a foam base mat under an aquarium offers several benefits, including shock absorption, leveling, and vibration dampening. The mat helps distribute the aquarium's weight evenly, reducing stress on the glass and seams, which minimises the risk of cracks or breaks from uneven pressure. It can also help level out any uneven surfaces, maintaining stability and preventing leaks.
Additionally, foam mats absorb vibrations, making them beneficial for placement on surfaces that may experience movement, thus reducing disturbance to aquatic life.
They provide thermal insulation, helping to maintain water temperature more consistently, and prevent scratching of both the tank and the surface underneath.
Finally, they protect the surface from moisture damage, especially during maintenance.
