I’m trying to find a Leveling mat for my Rimless 120 Gallon, 24“ X 48” Aquarium. Any suggestion, also how thick for the mat? Stand is very true and level. Will 1/8“ be enough?

Tractor Supply carries horse stall mats that are similar and look like they would work.
I didn’t get one though, found a decent size yoga mat at Lowe’s, but it’s something I don’t think they normally carry.

Looks like the Yoga Mat is the winner here. The tank is too big to lay on it‘s side and put a self stick mat on it. I don’t want to stick anything to the stand top. Also I like that it’s a little thicker than 1/8” I like that it’s has a little texture, and I can put that next to the stand so it can breath. Also I have these Aluminum Blocks, thinking about Contact Cementing Yoga Mat to both sides for large feet for the stand.

Amazon closed cell yoga mat for the win! They are cheap, readily available and will last decades.
I know this is an older thread, but do you have a link to a specific one? Amazon search for "closed cell yoga mat" gives lots of results.

I also vouch for the yoga mat. Put this one under my 120g after it being resealed. Cut to fit!
