200 gallon tank and laminate floor
Anybody have a 180 or larger on laminate floor? Curious how well the floor holds up. I believe i will have appx 2400lbs of tank sitting their.
under the laminate is the pad and weather material on top of cement.

Best bet may be to cut out the flooring around the tank and just cover the edge with some trim.
I have my 400G tank in a room with laminate flooring but I didn't install any flooring where the tank was going to sit as I was worried as well about the weight of a 500G system. I'll just put in some base board molding around the bottom of my stand to cover the flooring edge.
