In my old place had the 75g direct on the HW with no problems. Stand had four adjustable feet each probably no more than 1.5" diameter and didn't leave a depression when I moved it after 3+ years.
I didn't place a mat as was more concerned that if I had a spill the water would be trapped. This came partly as when I moved into the house it had carpet throughout, with the original maple HW underneath. When I stripped the carpet there was an area by the door of the bathroom where the wood was warped, so thinking better if wet to dry right away.
Fish tank aside, have split water, beer, juice, milk, had pee etc. on the wood (wondering my lifestyle eh?), with no damage as cleaned up immediately.
