Can't remove carpet don't own the placeRemove Carpet. It will throw off the level of the water in due time
I should add that mine was a plush carpet, if it was like the thin carpet, almost like carpet tile carpet I would be ok with that.
Try a rubber workout matts. The will protect the carpet from moisture if you get a large enough one. I have one under my 180 gallon in my carpeted basement. Just make sure to have it straight under the tank because once you fill that tank its not going anywhere. it will leave an impression on the carpet but its would be dry and equivalent to large furniture. Give yourself about 12" around the whole tank if you can. I won't say you won't ever get the carpet wet but it greatly reduces it. Use the adjustable feet to level the tank.Sup guys I have a waterbox 130.4 coming... I want to place it in the basement but theres carpet over the concrete floor...

It's a thin indoor outdoor carpetDo you have the option to add several feet to the stand? Adjustable may help with leveling the stand before you put the tank on it, but with the carpet having some give it may not stay level. If they make any you can adjust under some load, that may be something to look into. Just some thoughts. Anywhere you put feet though it will leave pretty nasty indents.
Is the carpet more plush or like a short/Berber style? If it's really short you may be okay. Still going to leave an imprint on any carpet though.
Same here, never a problemI'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.
Oh then you're fine. If there's no actual padding under the carpet then I wouldn't worry about it at all. I like the idea of putting a yoga mat under it to keep moisture off the carpet, but you could do that with anything really.It's a thin indoor outdoor carpet
I've not had a problem myself either, however the potential for one is there. Worth calling it out just to be aware IMO. Maybe that's the engineer in me, just rather bring it up then have be an unforeseen issue down the road.Same here, never a problem
Put a piece of plexi glass or plywood under itSup guys I have a waterbox 130.4 coming... I want to place it in the basement but theres carpet over the concrete floor... Is it safe to put the tank on the carpet thanks
I once (in similar situation) built a plywood with edges/lips and set large ceramic tiles 4-5 inches bigger than the stand. Had the lips come up 1/3rd of and inch higher than the tiles. and water proofed it. Enough to distribute the weight on the carpet and something to catch spills, but not a flood.I should add that mine was a plush carpet, if it was like the thin carpet, almost like carpet tile carpet I would be ok with that.
I hope so, all my tanks are on carpet. lol. YOLO. (I own furniture and flooring stores....so if I fudge the carpet my wife won't punish me too bad)Sup guys I have a waterbox 130.4 coming...
