I used a sheet of acrylic that was about 1/2" smaller that the bottom of the tank, & then attached several 1"-1 1/2" H piers cut from 2" acrylic tubing to the acrylic to ensure stability of the base rocks against burrowers, flow or any accidental rock slides or falls. It has worked awesome, & so has having a sandbed looked IMO.
