which is sad for me, because I would rather have my stand built so the tank will be ready to be put on it...
So you think I'll be ok?
Also I was planning on buying one of those ADA mats to go between the tank and the stand - will that work ok?

The stand can be built with or without an overlap of 1/16 or so. I don’t think it will be the end of the world for you. If Jeff said to wait then wait if you want to. It may be to your advantage.

Yes, I do recommend using neoprene between the tank and the stand for several reasons, one of which is that it helps keep the tank level and another reason is for the dampening of vibration that can come from filters, pumps and such. Again, both Jeff and George sells it.
