What do you use???
Before building,
SW often uses egg crate grate on the bottom.
FW???
Last year when my Innovative Marine tank was going to be SW I decided to forgo the egg crate and bought a plastic drop ceiling light cover panel like this

Just enough to help prevent scraping the glass and using the textured side up helps give the rocks something to grab a little to.
The egg crate seems like it would capture lots of gunk and get toxic pockets more easily and not allow burrowing snails convenient movement.
But then I wondered if it would leach out any thing toxic.
Also considered using either
wire rack shelf liner

or softer drawer liner Rubbermaid Con-Tact non adhesive liner
