be VERY careful putting eggcrate (in large quantities like completely covering the bottom) in your. Some brands/types of it are Algae Magnets. It's assumed that the plastic is leaching out phosphates. As an example here's a frag rack I made out of egg-crate. Take note that I painted this one with Krylon Fusion to try and seal/lock any phosphates inside but apparently it didn't work.
