Good Ideas.....
Just thought I would share what I did to my IWAKI pump sense salt water is so harsh on things.....
When I bought it it was rusted pretty bad. I took a wire brush on a drill and got all the rust off and took it down to bare metal.
now here is the good idea....I bought at lowes the rust proof paint guaranteed not to let it rust. I sprayed two coats all over the metal (it was taken apart at the time) to prevent rusting.
You may want to do this too if your pump is rusted but works good or before it starts rusting. Paint was only like 5$ and to me was worth it to protect such an expensive piece of equipment that the tank depends on.

My other idea was to line the inside of my stand with pond lining and then put pond lining down under the stand to protect the carpet somewhat.
Just thought I would share incase someone is setting up a tank or such. 8)
Just a though....
Anyone else have any good usefull ideas like this to protect, make life easier, etc, etc.....??????
