Acrilic would be nice however the dollar figure on that stuff is pretty steep. I made my mind up about having something between the glass bottom and rock though a couple weeks ago when the bottom of the 29 gal tank blew out. I was also thinking of just trimming back the egg crate to the base of the rock so open areas, where sand might have a tendancy to get swept away, would be free from egg crate so it might not show up. Not too worried about having the rock fall on the glass, since the base rock is stable and any spindly stuff will eventually be epoxied in place, more just a percausion and to distribute the weight a little bit.
Ok and an update on the pump, so reflo is going to swap out the impeller for the Dart so my final flow numbers will be approximately 5600 gal/hr for 46 turn overs/hr. woo hoo. Any SPS will be happy there.
