That's what happend to me. I was all, "clean BB tank, here i come!", until I actually saw all that bare bottom. The rocks looked weird without the sand. Someone on canreef said it best.. the ocean isn't BB.. hehe. But this is all just personal preference, like boxers or briefs. There's not right or wrong answer ( I don't think ).

They do the work alright.. just don't get the type of goby that takes in gobs of sand, then hauls it into the water column and spits a trail of it out from one end of the tank to the other
Anyway, with careful powerhead direction you can avoid hitting the sandbed and blasting it. This is another reason why I like the tunze 6105 vs an MP40. The MP40 has such a wide wave that it would surely hit my sand bottom, especially since my tank is only 20" tall. I think the mp40 has an 18" diameter flow or something like that. With being able to direct the flow I can blast a narrowish stream down each side of my 6' tank, have it hit the other end of the tank and flow back through the centre of the tank without touching the sandbed. It actually works out quite well for me. 6800+gph and no sandstorms.
