Is tank on hardwood floors a bad idea?

[skylord]

My dish washer leaked and destroyed my kitchen floor but it had been leaking for a while before I saw what was happening. Had to replace the floor because after it being on the honey do list for six weeks it didn't improve a bit. Also did something similar to what ratttler did and in 2 weeks all was well.
On to my tanks....they sit on Laminate and as long as water is mopped up right away Ive had no problem. I do try to keep the water in the tank but stuff happens. Had a turbo block the return on my refugium and when I got home found water 30 feet away from the tank. Got the water cleaned up and waited for this huge area to be added to the list. No problems resulted from this spill or any of the other hundred or so minor spills. Maybe I'm lucky so far but just in case I placed the tanks in an area easy to repair (??????) and have a couple extra box's of flooring waiting.

I lived in an older 100 year old house with Hardwood (Maple) and had many spills - overflows and tank meltdowns. I was very worried what the floor would look like underneath after moving the tank - however it didn't even look as if it had any damage. I was ecstatic!
