I bought mine at home depot for $1.75 a square. Two fit with a little extra space at one end of my 20 gallon long. I put paper towel down there for their droppings.

Regards,

Terry

thanks much, i was too stupid to think of measuring my tank and checking to see if it is a multiple of six or twelve. its a multiple of 6 so i can get five slate tiles and they should fit perfect

I get two twelve inch tile in a carpet store, where they sell floor coverings. I had them for free and they fit perfectly my enclosure. Take a look for a carpet store, they often have a very wide choice of tile.
