Pergo Floor Weight Capacity For Large Aquarium

[PopBot16]

So we're thinking of getting a large aquarium, specially an Innovative Marine EXT 200 gallon Peninsula. All in (main tank, sump tank stand, water, sand, rock, equipment), let's say 2,500-3,000 pounds. It's would go on the first floor and the house is on a slab. The footprint of the tank/stand is 71 inches by 30 inches. This is the Pergo flooring. 10mm core with a 2mm underlayment. I don't really know any other details about the subfloor ATM. The room is about 14 feet by 14 feet. Will this crack/damage the Pergo over time? I'm more worried about the structural integrity than scratches. Any other flooring issues due to that weight? Is there anything I can lay down between the Pergo and the bottom of the tank stand that would help mitigate any potential issues (even if it's 'overkill')? TIA for the help!

Best to contact a flooring installer or the manufacturer themselves.

Or... Buy some extra Pergo now and store it until you move/take the tank down... Then you can replace if needed.

I have a 120g with 60g sump on my Pergo flooring for over 2 years with no issues. Just moved it 3 months ago and flooring still looks new where it sat.
