Keeping Tank On Ground?

[xZMXD]

Ive got space in my garage for my 75 gallon to sit on the ground... I dont have a stand but since its going in my garage it wont be seen anyway...

The floor is solid concrete and i have swept under it like 50 times haha.

Could i just sit the tank straight on the floor ?

Or layer a bit of cardboard underneath ?

Just lay the tank on the cement. The cardboard can crack the glass

Because it’s hard to get the water to flow because of low tank level.

That was my first thought. I used to have an over under setup and the bottom tank was really hard to get any flow going with a siphon. No other downsides really if you dont mind laying down to see your fish.
I dont know what the deal is with cardboard though. Maybe because it can settle unevenly?
