Put a piece of plexi glass or plywood under it
Regular plywood will rot if it gets wet right?You'll have no problems... other than if you spill stuff.....which will eventually happen.
To save you money marine grade is very expensive. Regular construction grade plywood is cheap the plexi glass is plastic for easy clean up and to protect the plywood from rotting. Also liked the idea mentioned of the lip to contain any water spills. Can use quarter round trim tack it on, and silicone around edge. Save you from replacing carpetFor what reason?
I am not worried about the tank just the landlord, and possible damageTo answer your question yes it's safe to put the tank on your carpet I'm shocked people are actually suggesting it isn't haha. Bloody hell tanks would be breaking all over the place!!
Thats fair, I think he said he isn't to bothered about the indents though. So it's just potential water damage and I don't think the risk is high enough to warrant being concerned about it imo.I am not worried about the tank just the landlord, and possible damage
Just got 3/4 inch plywood and some paint to seal it I think it would be easier to level with plywood under it VS carpet thanks for the help guys... I have renters insurance not worried about damage to the place.... Wored about my tank not being levelThats fair, I think he said he isn't to bothered about the indents though.

Regular plywood will take on water, expand and retain it for a period of time, unless thoroughly sealed.Regular plywood will rot if it gets wet right?
Just curious are we talking dent that’s worse than regular furniture? In an apartment and if I put a tank I don’t wanna leave evidence lolI'm surprised at the posts. It has never been an issue for me to put a tank on carpet. When you move the tank eventually, there will be a dent in the carpet, but that comes out eventually.
There will be evidence, but it will come out. It's similar to other heavy furniture. I suppose it depends on tank size and how the stand is constructed. My old 90 gallon with the All-Glass 1x4 stand left some good dents in a 3/4" ring around the edge of where the stand was. But they do come out.Just curious are we talking dent that’s worse than regular furniture? In an apartment and if I put a tank I don’t wanna leave evidence lol
I was thinking of maybe hiding a 30-40 from LLThere will be evidence, but it will come out. It's similar to other heavy furniture. I suppose it depends on tank size and how the stand is constructed.

If you have to do a walk through the day you move out and you're worried about it, you could move the tank beforehand. Of course, I wouldn't tell you to hide a big tank from your landlord.
