If you have a basement, put the tank [lidless] upstairs with sufficient space around it so no salt spray gets to your furniture: rin the tank with 9" of fiberglass or formica, so there's no splash, run 2 hoses to the basement, and do all your spillage down there.
A reef with all the pumps and equipment runs too hot to afford a lid unless you have a chiller.
My tank is in a carpeted room, in a corner, with good furniture in the room, and while I have spilled gallons belowstairs, I haven't spilled a drop upstairs.
