So, 2 weeks ago I had a "little" flood. (read: I had an arc to get from one side of the room to the tank) Now in one spot there is a GIANT, (like 3 inch) tall hump right infront of my tank. I have beeen living here about a month and 1/2. Just long enough to know that if a corner could be cut, it was. So i pull back carpet to see what kind of "plywood" was under that carpet, or perhaps he put some carpet over laminate... etc. Come to find out over a crawlspace this fool used MDF, Or some sort of particle board. :doh: :shout:
Ok, so in place of a further rant here I would like to ask, what is your tank sitting on. Should I tear the whole room up and go marine grade plywood for the sub floor? What on top of that? Is laminate going to be a nightmare? I know most likely hardwood will be a popular option, but I am not in a position to go hardwoods there yet. Is there a way to seal a laminate floor to make it a bit waterproof with out totally breaking the bank? I am up to suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
