I need an alternative to eggcrate!

If it's rigid, will hold weight, and will allow water to pass through, you can use it the same way we use the eggcrate (as long as it is made of something that will no break down or rust). Look at all the different light diffusers and see if you can find something that will work. They are used universally, so you should be able to find something.

That's the stuff

get creative if you have to.. anything made of plastic, nylon or pvc will work. even sheets of acrylic if you have to drill your own holes. I saw someone use plastic circuit board once because they couldn't find anything else.

there are other ways of making a bottom with drainage that doesn't require a "false bottom" aswell, it has become the preferred method here.. but a good ol fashioned rock drainage layer can work just as well, if not better than a FB.
