Please tell me I didn't do something stupid when setting up my new tank. I put a layer of regular styrofoam in the bottom, then rocks, then substrate. I've never used sytrofoam before, but wanted to raise up the substrate (it's a very tall tank) and didn't want to put rocks directly on the glass.
Is there any danger that the stryofoam will contaminate the water in some way? There does seem to be quite a layer of "scum" for lack of a better word on the top of the water. I'm going to adjust the output to make it agitate the water more (and can add a powerhead, too). I just haven't added fish yet and I"m starting to get OCD about it . . .
