Do you mean to say that it is such a huge job that you think I would rather put up with a BB than change sand every 5 years? :sad:

"put up with" is rather negative, but ya, removing a DSB is way more trouble than you'd think.
I'm really loving the look of my BB tank now. At first I was a bit unsure, but I like it a lot now. With 6000gph of flow in the tank, I don't have any choice, but BB would be my choice regardless.

Is that because after time you get coralline algae growing on it and it doesn't look BB anymore?
