Great topic Frankie!! karma to you
This is the exact reason I did not upgrade to a 6' tank (which would have been located in our den that has wood flooring). I was afraid of floods and wood degradation so I kept my upgrade located on 4' of space that is on vinyl flooring.
A few of my concerns then were:
- If a flood does occur, how would I clean/dry under the stand?
- What type of damage would a flood do if the water was cleaned/dried from the floor within a few hours?
- How much damage would saltwater spillage (normal tiny drips and spills) do to the wood floors?
- If there were no floods, would the weight of the tank damage the floors?
- Is there any type of tray or protective substance that could be placed between the floor and the stand?
