Under the Sump - I don't want the pink stuff

I don't want the pink stuff - What else are you using? Anything black? Like the gym stuff?

Hot a link where to buy?

What is the sump made of? Does the sump maker recommend something? Mine is a 40B sitting directly on the floor of my stand.

Acrylic

I found an exercise mat at Academy. It's smooth on one side and has a diamond plate pattern on the other. This was like twice as thick as a yoga mat. I used it under my new sump which is 50x22x22.

Can cut it to size?

I used the pink stuff, and covered it with black pond liner.

Anti fatigue mat. It's rubber and it's black.. Oh year, can't forget about the pond liner to contain leaks or accidental floods.

I had a pvc tray built into the bottom of my cabinet to contain splashes/spills. Looks better than pond liner.

Will look into these mats.
