Hahaha.... yah eggcrate AKA "lighting crate/grate"
Find it at any major hardware store. Its that plastic grid that offices use to put over thier florescent lighting.

lol, lightning grid.....sounds a lot more easier to understand. I asked about 3 people at home depot and none had any idea what i was looking for.
look at home depot on the aisle where they have all the drop ceiling tiles and such. That's where I found mine.
Ya put it on the bottom of the tank under large rocks to help distribute the weight so you don't have too much stress on one portion of the bottom of the tank.

Which way do you put it on the tank? The flat side, or the one that doesn't have that little frame on it (we'll call it the sharp side). Yah, went to Lowe's today, and they had it...Just had to ask the right person.
Not sure what your talking about mine didnt have that... but i would say the flat side would be best.
lol, sorry i was very general, and i just read my post...not very clear. I mean that the lighting grid has one part that is flat if you look at it, because it is connected by a frame, and the other side does not have the frame, just the squares by themselves, and on the edges it is sharp because of the points sticking out. Which part would i put on the bottom of the aquarium? I would tend to think that it should be the flat side, so the support is on the bottom?
