I got mine at Home Depot. I believe they were $12.95 each. I bought 2 to lay my sand and rocks on in my 125. :)

Just curious, why did you put the eggcrate down for sand and rocks? Why not just put them directly on the glass?
 
Big cichlids love to dig, imagine if one dug and a rock fell over into that spot with no sand and cracked the bottom!

Ive always just put my rocks on the base glass and then fill with sand, but eggcrate is an awesome idea for stacked rocks and a trick I will be using in the future. Thanks!
 
YEa Iused it for my 180 african reef tank and my salt water tank. Just protects the glass so much better. Rock falls it wont blow up your tank also those teny tiny little pointy edges and imperfections rocks have that can create cracks or breaks in glass are safely dispursed through a larger area with the egg crate... Stuff is amazing, super cheap too. If you going to put ANY rocks in your tank I recomend using it.
