i plan on a lot of fairly large rocks in my 120 and was wondering if it would be good to put eggcrate below the sand?
thanks

I would...helps relieve pressure points on the glass bottom and helps protect it incase you have fish that like to dig......

Always good to be safe. Only thing i can think of against it is it might look unsightly if your fish dig around it.

I'd say eggcrate is a must for rocks that weigh over 8 lbs. Put the rocks on the eggcrate first, followed by the substrate.
