What is "laminate hardwood flooring"? If it's laminate the floor is probably already toast under the stand, if it's engineered hardwood you might be OK but you need to dry up the water if you want to save it.

Problem with these fish tanks is a spill is bound to happen at some point, to protect the flooring in my new house I plumbed the sump into the basement which should eliminate most if not all spills on the main floor. If this is not possible I would consider tanking the tank down temporarily and at least installing a rubber mat under the stand, bend it up against the wall behind so all water spills end up in an area you can mop them up.
