Underneath a 180 gallon

[beto72]

Is there anything I can place underneath a tank to safeguard the carpet becoming damaged by the saltwater? We have a tank in our office that we are moving to a carpeted area.

Thanks!

pond liner will work.. but if the tank is on carpet and you have a major spill nothing will stop it from getting on the carpet..

Most have seen these pictures but maybe you haven't.. I build Pans out of plastic sheeting in all my stands.. Here is my 180 stand it can hold about 28 gallons of water if there is a leak lol.. Ofcourse with the sump in there it doesn't hold as much but still can handle a pretty good spill or leak. HTH

BTW the biggest problem with just setting your stand on something is that when you have a leak the water will get between the floor and whatever you use..

Thank you both!

8Ball,

Where can I find that material? Do they have it Lowes or Home Depot?

Thanks!

Lowes sells the sheeting.. Its about 15.00 for a 4x8 sheet.
