180g on ceramic/marble tile?

[billm90]

I am moving into a new house and I have a 180g tank.

is it a bad idea to put the wood stand and tank on a ceramic/marbel tile floor?

Should I put something under that stand to protect the floor, or the stand?

IMO If the tile is solid meaning there no is gaps under the tile you should be fine. Knock on the tile and see what it sound like, if it sounds hollow i would replace the tile or pick another spot

throw down a sheet of plywood that same dimensions of the stand and then don't worry about it (still assuming you have solid tiles)

whats is under the tile wood or concrete

It is a concrete floor with tile on top.

they did the whole house in tile, it is mostly ceramic with marble accents.

the base of my stand is a solid piece of plywood. good enough?

 

[Dixon81]

i would say so. like i said make sure the tiles does not sounds hollow
