I need to find a good quality source for a 3/8" mat for a 100 gallon tank that I'm setting up. I purchased one a while back from an industrial supplier but the quality was poor. I need a sheet roughly 24X48. Looking for suggestions. Also, I looked at the innovative marine mat but it wasn't clear what the thickness is. Thanks for your help!

funny i searched and didn't find this one. any idea what 60A durometer means as it pertains to ideal support for a 100 gallon tank?
 
Sorry, I have no idea what 60A durometer means.

When I setup my last tank, a 90 gallon, I used the 1/8" neoprene from Bulk Reef Supply. I put a single layer under my tank and I used another sheet to make a kind of a backup overflow catch basin for my sum. In case it overflows, the neoprene is a bit wider and longer than the sump and I curled it up a bit using neoprene glue on the corners.
 
60a durometer is a measure of durability. Means that it has a good balance of durability and flexibility.
 
They also sell glue backed sheets
Oh too late
 
ha - yes too late on the glue backed. I was thinking whatever I use I want to make sure that it doesn't create any kind of uneven are or bumps in the material but I suppose at 3/8" I should be fine.
