new 20g and can't decide
 

I can't decide if I want to go BB or not. Need advice please.
Thank you

Two Words......Bare Bottom. I'd put some starboard on the bottom but thats still BB.

Sand isn't required but it looks so damn good. :mrgreen:

Once you go BB you'll never go back

bb is better......sand just looks nicer

What is "starboard"?

It's just a brand name but the actual product is ordinary kitchen cutting board.

Kinda like "Starfire" it's just a brand name of low iron glass.

Hobby lingo I guess. :mrgreen:

And what is the purpose of putting that on the tank bottom?

Thanx,

Well, for saftey. It keeps your rocks from forming pressure points on the glass and also protects the bottom from rock avalanches. You can get it in white and those silly BB folk seem to think it looks like sand. :wink: :mrgreen:

Okay. Thanx. I'm a sand type myself. (I like how sand looks like sand :lol: ). Just curious, though. First year new to reefkeeping and wanting to learn. That's why the silly questions, :rolleyes: .
Thanx again,
