Just wanted to let those of you who can't find or afford starboard that I have another solution. In my case I did'nt want to pay $140 for a piece of plastic to go at the bottom of my tank. So I got a $30 piece of 1/4" white acrylic at HD. I cut it in two, and siliconed it to the bottom of my tank. I tried to do the perimeter so that detrious can't get under it and here and there so that it does'nt peel up. So far so good, and until it gets overgrown by coraline the sump light glows though it making a really cool night-lite effect.
