What to put under your tank?

[Frogger]

I put a floor jack in my basement right in the middle of my 90 gallon tank.

My stair case restricted the floor joists from extending wall to wall and I felt I needed to add a little more support.

My floor was out of level in my living room so I protected my hard wood floor with a layer of vinyl shelf paper and then poured a thin layer of self leveling concrete on top of the vinyl on the wood floor. I created a dam using 1x2s with tiny nails into the hard wood floor. I removed the wood once the concrete was dry. I painted the concrete the same colour (if black is a colour) as my cabinet so you do not even see it.

I have a large commercial grade rubber mat (that you would find in a gym) and this has been good at protecting my laminate flooring.

Ya that’s exactly what I’m thinking.

It’s going on my basement floor which should be great for my foundation.

But it’s on carpet and I want to use a heavy duty mat for this.

Where can I get something like those mats?

Just bought a large commercial mat from Winterburn Rd Costco for $30. Will be using this for my new setup. I believe it’s sold in a 4’ x 6’ roll.
