That would require damaging the wood floor in that area.

put in a tiled area under the tank and extending out a bit. there is no 100%
way to prevent water damage to a wooden floor otherwise.

I appreciate all the input and ideas, thanks. I think I'm going to modify
the stand a bit and try to be extra careful (for what good that will really
do). I really don't want to get into modifying the floor.

Thanks everyone Patrick

Why not put the stand in an acrylic tray or similar?

i meant replace the wooden floor with tile. the floor installer should do
this when the floor is built. if you already have the floor when you want to
install the tank, have a floor installer come in and remove the wooden floor
in that spot.

that would be the best looking and most safe option.

That would be ideal - the section of the floor that the tank stands on being
tile instead of the wood, but it's cost prohibitive as far as I'm concerned.
And then it ruins the floor, which is more important than the tank.

Thanks though Patrick
