2,000 lbs, on Two Square Feet, Tile Floor?

I want to put two 6” X 24” X 1/4” Aluminum Strips under both ends of the Stand, to get it Slightly off of the Porcelain Tile Floor, over the Concrete Basement Floors. This so moisture won’t get trapped under the stand. The way the stand is built, it has Four Conners that support the entire weight, but the bottom is flat. Do you any problems doing this?

They make pads that tanks are meant to sit on. Can't see why the same wouldn't be true for the bottom of the stand.

Auqa Gadget Leveling Adhesive Rubber Mat

Leveling adhesive mats are used under glass or acrylic tanks to make a super smooth surface and relieve any small stress points that may be on the surface the tank will rest on. With the adhesive backing you can place the mat directly to the tanks bottom to keep it from sliding around for final...
