I ran my 210g bare bottom for 6 months but Irene & I hated the look so I added some clean sand with no problems at all. You don't have to worry about adding the sand right away. You can set up the tank, rinse out the sand & then turn off all the flow before adding in a sandbed. I used a long funnel type contraption to pour the sand in, but you can just scoop it in. The bacteria in your LR will make the sand live again, soon enough.
