Yeah, I'm still worried about the integrity of the stand if it sits on
anything but the floor. I'll give it some extra coats of protection and just
be even more careful than usual. Thanks everyone.

That's a good one. I was thinking a pan like a water heater pan but that
wouldn't be very practical and impossible to purchase. It would hide
damage too like Wayne said. Probably a rubber mat in front of the
aquarium. I'm glad my house is almost all tile but only for that reason.

Otherwise, I like solid wood floors. Tile is too hard.

Thanks Wayne,

What you said about hiding any damage is one of the things I'm worried
about.

I kept thinking of maybe a cork type tile extending beyond the stand
dimensions - but then over time the tank will it sink into the cork -
probably not a good thing. Then I thought of a piece of Plexiglas, but
then I picture the Plexiglas cracking, also probably not a good thing.

I'm always on top of any salt, and water spills, I think I may just be
paranoid about the floors, they've just been refinished. The extra
protective coating may be the best idea.

Thanks, Patrick- Hide quoted text -
