+boognish Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Is a 175 gallon tank too heavy for the cheap(ish) wood flooring. If so, can you leave the underlay/pad off where the tank is or does that introduce more problems? Any recommendations where to buy affordable materials in town? Option 2... Painted Concrete. Any recommendations? Less maintenance and seems easier, so I might have to lean that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadodge Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yes i believe leaving the cushion outta the flooring isnt a good deal, I have seen ppl take a skillsaw with a masonry blade, set shallow, and cut slight grooves into concrete. Make it look like wood, Stain it to the color of wood u want and there u go. Also seen designs like a star, border on the edge of room, anything and everything. If it were me Thats what i would do. My office will be that away soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
