I'm thinking of going bare bottom and will be buying a 96 X 54 sheet of 3/8' ths inch thick starboard to put between the rock and the glass and wanted to see if anybody wanted to split the board since I only need a 95 X 23 piece.

The board is $113 + $45 or so in shipping.

In case you don't know what I'm talking about here's a good link.

That would be great Josh.

I asked the manufacturer to send me a color sample since the SeaFoam color seems to have more of a sand look. I'll let you know when it get's here.

I'm going to be using a single piece but I've heard people using sylicone to seal two pieces.

z28pwr thanks for the info. pretty cool stuff. do you think it will last that long in a tank? the only thing is, if you have some of this in your tank it's not a bb any more. do you silicone it in so that water dos'nt get under it?

Dan, A few people on ReefCentral have had this in their tanks for a little over a year with no problems so we will see. I'm not sure if I want to sylicone it to the tank, I'm still debating that.
