You would want your stand to spread the load over as much surface area as possible. No small feet or legs on the stand. I'm mindful of my hardwood floor and the 110lb guest who damaged it by wearing stiletto heels. If she were wearing snowshoes, she wouldn't leave a dent. It is all about psi.

So a plywood bottom to the tank stand would help then?
