I thought about going with starboard for my 280g that I'm about to put together, but, decided against it for the mere reason I'm not entirely certain what deleterious effects there could be with water going stagnant in the gaps between the edges and anything underneath. Maybe it's insignificant, I don't know. I decided just to go with a white styrofoam pad under the tank and leave it at that. Just my $0.02, I realize this isn't so much an answer to your question as it is an unsolicited piece of advice from the peanut gallery, and man do I hate it when my parents or inlaws do that to me, so .. um .. my bad.
