Been thinking lately on the design of a new tank and was wondering on if polystyrene was really necessary on a rigid level surface such as a post formed top.
i think it is, it softens the pressure on the glass and spreads it out. It also stops the nasty scratches and things. Why dont you want to put it in?
just put a little ''perimeter'' of wood or somethin around the base of the tank, that covers the polystyrene and possibly the base of the tank. Or you could make your cupboard door a little higher so they cover it?Aesthetic reasons, with my current stand idea, the polystyrene would be visible. Guess back to the drawing board.

I don't really know y somebody would not use it, the stuff is not expensive and you can hind it. So for what ever reason it is really silly not to use it.
as lond as it does not get wet should be fine. as if you have an open sump just make sure the woods properly sealed
