Also hard to find the right mat and a pump that has that low of a flow.

I used a large sheet of blue "Rite-Size" bonded filter pad available at any pet store and cut to fit. This stuff is just like the blue fuzzy stuff you see on most HOB filter cartridges. I used aquarium sealant to glue it to a plexiglass frame I made to make it somewhat rigid and more or less a giant DIY filter cartridge that can be easily removed for cleaning.
In another setup for a fry tank I attached it to an undergravel filter plate, and basicaly made a fry safe Undergravel filter out of it. It gave me all the benifits of a bare bottom fry tank, with the gentle filtering of a UGF.
