I am thinking about changing my laminate flooring to Hardwood flooring  in my basement.  If you have hardwood how is it holding up?  
 
 
Thanks

Can't use real hardwood in a basement - too much moisture.  You can use engineered hardwood with the right underlay.  I'd rather have wood that laminate under my tank as you can refinish wood should a flood happen.
Another option is to tile just for under the tank and go wood elsewhere like what I did.  Tile on top of a concrete slab is the best flooring option for an aquarium.
