[QUOTE=rohrmann;1174907]I’m glad I thought to take pictures when I did this. When I was working on this, where the 2X4 wood blocks are, the dimension there was 1 1/2”, so the wood blocks worked fine. Not having any other materials to make 1/2”, 1”, and 2” blocks, I bought a sheet of 1/2” foam board and just grabbed a roll of tape at the Lowe’s I was at. I cut pieces of foam, taped them to get the thicknesses I needed, and using silicone caulking, glued them to the bottom of the tanks. Once the caulking was set, I pulled off the braces, reinstalled the coroplast and then reinstalled the braces. As it worked out, with the bottom of these tanks sloped 1/2” per foot, and the braces ended up being about a foot apart, those thicknesses of blocks worked out good. Not sure if everyone’s setup would be the same, but it isn’t that complicated.[/QUOTE The only difference between yours and mine 'except the Christmas Paper' is I installed my wood between the brace and the tank instead of gluing the wood to the tank. If I have to remove the coroplast then I will have to remove the wood whereas your wood will stay glued to the tank. Hopefully I won't have to drop the coroplast for many years since I installed the Valtera valves with pull rods. I am getting a little to old to be laying on a creeper.
