Please Note All below is just my opinion only based on my own experience, just offer help and good advise.
• Egg crate bad idea ! This will be just a detritus trap and recipe for tank crash in two years or sooner.
• Sand first bad idea ! also, because If you decide to have sand you must support sand life i.e. staff that burrow in to keep that sand bed alive and this is another recipe for your rock tumble down and at very least just kill the poor goby or whatever will be making home there. Or complete rock work will go down and crack the tank.
• Personally I think if you can not keep you sand live and here you can’t unless you are close to a warm ocean and can replace all the worms and bugs etc on regular basis. just go BB. esay to clean , easy to maintain.
