Hey there Jesse from St. Cloud... thanks for the tip!
yeah, this is a variant on a theme. I've done this in the past too. Most use a kitchen plate or something to slowly pour over. I like the idea of covering the entire sand when filling with water and have even been known to "plastic wrap" a sandbed first 
Welcome to TR! Enjoy the ride and please do keep sharing such great information
Dave
