What do you do where the pergo and the travertine meet? Will they go together, or do you need some sort of a strip of trim or something?
My entire house is tile & Pergo. There's 2 ways to go where the two meet. In the doorway of all of the bedrooms, the previous owner filled in the crack with some sort of black stuff. It's kind of like grout, but it almost has a spongy consistency to it. In our living room, we used the moldings that you can get at Lowes or HD that's made by Pergo. With that you leave about a 1"-1 1/2" gap between the tile & Prego. Then you lay down a metal track that gets screwed into the concrete slab, and the molding snaps into it. The molding is T shaped, so it covers the edge of the tile and the edge of the Pergo.

Hope this helps. FWIW, my tank is just sitting on the Pergo, no problems in terms of weight/ cracking. Water damage may be another story, but the nice thing about Pergo is that you could easily pull up the section that's under the tank, and replace it if you need to if/ when you move. Just make sure to buy 3 or 4 extra boxes, just in case they stop making the style that you go with.
