Picked up a new toy yesterday! 150 shallow . It has a steel stand its rusting at certain areas and the screws are brown wondering if i should replace them? Im also looking to see what i should put between the top of the stand and the tank. I know there is levelling mats. I plan on making a center rockmass, that comes out of the water. The mountain will also be home to a couple small land crabs.

Trying to figure out the plan for the tank to be placed on the stand. I currently have a 3/4" plywood underneath wondering if i should add foam on top any suggestions?
