Is tank on hardwood floors a bad idea?

We had a 65g tank & stand on our laminate floors for a year. We just upgraded to a 120g and when we moved the 65g the was no damage done to the laminate floors.

Having thrown away the cooler I now find out that it was just a mineral build up on the valve that is easily cleaned, grrrrr!

You must have the same cheep one as me. When my valve leaked the manufacturer recommended hot vinegar water passed through it over and over until it stopped. I did it, leak stopped, problem solved.

I second the rubber mat thing but I agree that you should find a way to not alow water to get under it.
