I'd go black expanded PVC ceiling tile on the bottom. Same look as STARBOARD just a lot cheaper and only 5mm. they have 2'x4' tiles.

@F i s h y mentioned this once to me, I think.

That's two comments about the egg crate with the wrasse. I have never had one, but probably will with the new tank. I understand they are sand dwellers. Whats the ideal sand thickness for those? and would it be assumed that if I go that thickness above the crate, it would potentially be non-issue?

my tank is already really shallow. So doing a super thick sandbed because of the egg crate to appease a wrasse might not be the best option for me.

Egg crate is .5 inches tall.

Minimum recommendation for sand sleepers is 2-3". That doesn't mean it needs to be 3" all around. I've got 2" up front and packed deeper sand behind the scape which is where they choose to sleep.

The egg crate under sand is a non issue..

only issue I currently see with this is I'm having difficulty finding some for sale that doesn't force me to purchase way more than I would need. Even if I were to go with 2'x2' tiles.

did you lay the egg crate along the entire bottom or just where your scape is?

I've got bottom Seam guards and layed it end to end so all the way around, there is no egg crate for 2" next to the glass, because of the seam guards.

Without Seam guards, I would still pull it a few inches away from the glass.

Beware, I have two of those. They sting other Gonis with those weird lashes on their polyps.
