The plastic grid with the square holes?

Home Depot/Lowe's should both have it (in white). It's sold as light diffuser for fluorescent light fixtures.

If you're looking at using it in your tank, the chrome stuff should be avoided. The chrome coating peels off.

(If you were gonna use it for something else, then forget I said anything...)

folks use it for all kinda of things. Under your rocks and sand, on top of the tank, to make teeth for baffles. It's like the duck tape of reefing.

I bought my 4x2 sheet for 13 bucks at homedepot

I personaly use it under my rock work. Parts of the rock sit in the open squares and its gives a little grip.

Avoid chrome. The chrome flakes off EASILY.

White can be bought at Home Depot or Lowes as others have said.

Black can be bought at Bulk Reef Supply.
