Hi

Can you please tell me what can be used to protect the carpet that my fish tank will be sitting on in the future. It now sits on floorboards but since it will be sitting on carpet there has been panic about water changes and getting the carpet wet. Can someone that has found a really good solution to this problem suggest something that can also look appealing eg. somehting that could be put under the tank that doesn't look tackie like plastic and is not going to cost the earth and pretty sureproof to protect the carpet be suggested? thanks

Anything you put under the stand is just going to help trap water under it. You need to either not spill water :lol: , remove the carpet, or have an air gap under the stand so air can move and dry the carpet out, what I mean by that is have a stand with feet rather than a flat bottom. Don't discount removing the carpet, I have done this in my house (although I do own it) I kept the removed carpet and will get a carpet layer to rejoin it when I want it back in, you would be surprised how many joins there are in most carpets anyway
