If a person did decide to go with a DSB is there a rule of thumb as to what livestock you'd want to introduce? I like snails, I think they do a fine job of keeping a sand bed clean as do Kole tangs and a number of other fish. I remember reading 1-2 snails per gallon but recently saw 2 per 10 gallons the later seems a bit weak to me. I really don't know which way to go I love the look of sand however a BB would be nice as well once the glass gets covered in coraline algae.

Still undecided and getting closer to adding water...
