alright this question actually belongs in the FO forum but i figured id ask it here since this section gets the most responses lol. im in the process of converting my 75 reef to an old school style FO tank. i am purchasing two large fake rock sculptures (sp?) and was originally planning to just glue them to the bottom of the tank with silicone (because i hate when stuff moves around when your cleaning and whatnot). anyways i realized that about 1.5 inches of the rock will be hidden by the sand, and i don't want that. so, i decided to use 1/2 staboard under the rock and then glue it then glue that to the tank bottom. only problem is that 1/2 starboard is a fortune and im a poor teenager, so i was trying to think of a cheaper alternative since it doesn't matter what it looks like since its covered by sand. i thought about eggcrate, but its too porous and probably won't glue to the rock very well. 1/2 acrylic is probably a fortune as well, so that's out of the question.
anyone got any ideas?
