Waterproof material under sump in stand - suggestion needed

[joe-ejs]

Hello.

I am setting up a new reef tank and have seen a couple setups where a black rubber material was put on top of the stand base which the sump sits on. This would hold water spills and salt creep. I was wondering where I can buy this at. It looks similar to a Weather Tec car mat or similar.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I used shower lining that I bought from Lowes on my 120 gal tank. I just glued it in place in the stand.

Picture is from when I was starting the build.

Same here - shower liner works great and has saved me a few times from a flood.

I set up my RODI under the kitchen sink and lined that cabinet with some leftover shower liner from the stand. Threw in a water detector alarm and that also has saved me from some real messes.

You can also at amazon get boot trays for boots that are wet with snow or rain. They are large enough to go under the sump and have a lip all around. that's what I used.

I was thinking of using an outdoor pond liner I never used in my cabinet. Could also consider using EPDM rolled roofing. Could possibly get large scrap pieces from a local roofing company.
