Bottom of tank question

[Fish4Me2]

I am seeking advice from those of you with large glass tanks. I'm getting ready to add my rock structure, and I'm looking for a good material to set the rock on top of. I used egg crate in a past tank, and when the tank had a dino outbreak, it was impossible to clean the egg crate. After that, I swore I'd never use it again!

The tank will be running bare bottom, so I'd like to have something that's easy on the eyes. Any suggestions?

Hi Fish4Me2 ; I have heard of using PVC Pipe , the grey colored type would blend well Good Luck!!!!

I would go with starboard (think cutting board material). Its white, smooth and will eventually encrust with coralline so it will hide well.

I have starboard in the bottom of my tank. I actually got it in sandstone color. Over time, the color shouldn't matter much, but until stuff grows on it, it looks like I have sand in the bottom of the tank.

Where do you find starboard? I keep hearing about it, but would like to see some in person before making the purchase. I really like the idea of sandstone colored!

I ordered my tank with it, so I don't know where Miracles sources their starboard. Good luck!
