alternatives to the starboard?

[Navymedic]

has anyone tried something less expensive? maybe the material used in cutting boards? Looks like the same stuff :rolleye1:

I've read a few threads of people using the inexpensive cutting boards, in place of starboard.

You can buy sheets of UHMWPE from Mcmaster Carr, which is effectively all starboard is, and its a fraction of the cost. I used it when I had a BB tank, and it was great... I just never came around on the BB look and went back to sand.

I bought ten marble tiles for $20 on sale...they have been in my tank for 2 years
