    Starboard. It's a marine grade poly sheet. I'm going to silicone it to the bottom of the tank to protect the glass and look something like sand. It's a popular choice for bare-bottom tanks.

    I don't think it will affect usability at all and it's the back corner that will be hidden away in the canopy. Mostly just my pride that's hurt.
