Re: Is an aquarium ok on a laminate floor?

Sure, but you don't stand on one for for a couple years in one spot do you?
Floring like carpet gives over time and leaves a mark based on weight over

Any flooring that gives will leave a mark over time.
Sharp corners are bad so a carpet undernieth will help alot.
