Melbourne - Thanks for the advice. I have not seen any ADA mats in Taiwan, and actually have not seen anyone use them.
How thick are they? I have found the foam that is used under floating wood floors but it is usually only 2mm thick. I have enough left over that I can double it over to make 4mm thick and trim the edges. Will that work?

One more question: Anyone who has used black silicon on the tank, how do you like it? The tank maker suggested it as the tank will be 10cm thick so you will see 10mm of the glass joint at the front around the tank where the sides join to the front. With the black silicon you will just see the black, liek a boarder. Does it make the tank look more confined? I figure with a 10mm greenish white of the glass and clear silicon will make just as much of a framed boarder. Any opinions?
