Default The white crate stuff to put under live rock

Does anybody know where to get the white egg crate stuff that you put under live rock in a new tank before the sand goes in along with putting coral frags on? I live in Calgary AB

I guess there are a few names for it then, I bought some a week ago and the manufacturers product sticker with the bar code that I had to pick off said "egg crate" ,...everywhere else I have ever bought it from had the same name for it...meh, I guess it depends on who you talk to.



edit...Better answer is "yes" it is one type of "light diffuser" but the product name you are looking for is "egg crate"...


Not to split hairs or anything...

I bought some a yr ago and had the same problem at Rona in Richmond, BC
I asked for egg crate and was given a quizzical look. Had to explain what I wanted and "aha you mean light diffuser for fluorescent lights"
