Cade Caster Feet on Hardwood Flooring

[ksliech]

I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a Cade S2 900 and am a little concerned about the long-term impressions the feet may leave in my hardwood flooring. Each of the 6 feet will be supporting ~190lbs, and I'm not sure how hard this particular flooring is. To play it safe, I may want to put some material underneath, but am not sure what's best (and wouldn't look bad!). What do you think?

I just took down my Reefer 350, about the same size, that has been sitting on hardwood floors for 6 years. The cheap 'casters' on the Red Sea are much smaller than those on a Cade, and there was no discernible impression. My floors are actual wood (unsure of type), not a modern synthetic/laminate.

Ooo, this is very good to know, thanks!

Anyone else with similar experience? With so many tanks these days shipping with casters I have to imagine this is not going to be a problem.

I have a cade 600 on hardwood. Sits there fine with no indentation.
