Carpet/padding on ??? Concrete, subflooring/joist?...
If its not a concrete floor I'd be sure to lift carpet, inspect subflooring and even inspect joist for size spacing and support.

Quick use of strong wet/dry shop vacuum, followed by hairdryer or just a fan blowing on the spill till no moisture is felt and lastly a dose of frebreeze will eliminate most odor from spills.gomezladdams;616464; said:

A good, and powerful, w/d shopvac is a great thing to have for equipment when you have an aquarium. Also, dehumidifiers. Many of my tanks are on carpeting with no problems. But I also have a carpet shampooer with manual settings, and hose. These are items that will keep your carpeting in good shape.
ive got my 180 on carpet, just make sure it is level
i did have one of my tanks crack and leak on the carpet, the carpet is orange colored now.

I gree, a large tank will ignore the carpet but with long, narrow tanks you might want to place the stand on a piece of tiled plywood a foot or so wider than the tank, if nothing else it looks pretty cool
Ideally with carpet the best thing to do would be to...
1) Pull back carpet/pad in desired area.
2) Setup stand/tank in spot and shim/level as needed on bare subfloor.
3) Either replace carpet/pad and repositition stand/tank exactly as before with all shims in place, or cut carpet/pad around stand/tank.
