Any issues putting a 150 aquarium and stand directly on concrete sub floor? I think if I out a moisture barrier sheet under the tank I should be fine? Checking to see what you all think.

Is the whole floor concrete or did you put the flooring around the tank? Did you put a moisture barrier under the tank , I’m in Florida where humidity is crazy so was thinking i may want to do that so the concrete slab doesn’t let moister get to the bottom of the stand

I have a 350 gallon directly on concrete slab.

Lvp around it.

If you're worried, just seal the concrete
On a side not did you glue the LVP or is it floating, I’m hearing with floating LVP it sounds hollow when walking on it.

It's floating. We put it throughout our house. Most of my house is on top of a crawl space. I haven't really noticed anything.

That doesn't mean it's not there. I just haven't noticed it. The stuff that we got has a pretty thick soft pad on the back of it.

I would just paint something over the concrete. Some of that dry lock or something.
