Flooring choice for basement/tank area

[fishytime]

any wood product will not hold up to moister very well.....most commercial finishes will not stand up to salt water exposure.....have a look at the two zoa frag stands at the shop the next time your in.....the light colored one was "cleared" with a marine grade varathane.....that one still looks like new(its a little dirty but still looks new).....the dark colored one beside it was done with a commercial grade finish and the clear is literally peeling off of it and the stain is leaching out in spots, in about two years.....granted the stand at the shop gets wet way more often than your floor hopefully ever will be but.....
