Moving pad - The perfect addition to your maintenance routine!

[seastar]

It's so simple, but I always use a moving pad (purchased rather cheaply at Lowes/Harbor Freight/Amazon, etc). I have brand new wood floors and would hate to get salt damage on them so this is what I use and it easily soaks up any of the normal drops here or there that might happen.

Again simple but it's helped me so much I thought I'd share in case it might help someone else as well.

I only wash it every other month or so and it's good to go again.

Do you have anything that you use to protect your floors?

Yup. $4.99 from harbor freight.

I bought mine from either BRS or Marine depot. Mine is blue and about the same size

I imagined everyone probably had their own version of something that worked well for them. I'm glad to see some others had thought of moving pads as well.

I use mine whenever I plan on doing anything substantial around the tank from WC's to even changing or cleaning the skimmer cup

Really nice have to stop over to my local HF.. and check them out.
Been using way too many paper towels...:)

I've been using a few old beach towels. I should invest in one.

I've got a few of them around for variety of uses. That's one when working around the tank. I'm lucky enough to have ran a Great Dane dealership garage so mine were free lol. Now if I need a new one my buddy gives em to me from the semi shop he runs.

I keep a stack of towels near my tank and put them down when ever I do anything that might have a chance to drip water. She who must be obeyed has deemed it so.:)

 

[steve&mari]

Definitely have extra towels also and gotta have the reef2reef towel handy always. Lol

I think it would be quite expensive to have R2R moving blankets.

I use the Moving Covers and the Workout Pads for the knees from Harbor Freight.

2 overlapping diaper changing pads. Kept the carpet perfect. Small enough that I was encouraged to use one or both anytime I put my hand in the tank.

I am glad that I saw this thread before my trip to HF this week.

This would have saved me from some evil eyes a few times
Nothing like being mean mugged by the warden after spilling some salt water onto new wood floors hahaha
