BB is it really good.

Well After thinking and reading about it and doing it my BB I'm getting bored of it. reasons I think its great for SPS tanks with huge flow area's. you can keep your tank cleaner then a sand bed depending on the sand that you use. But with a mixed tank I'm thinking that a sand bed would be alot better like for example my tank i have alot of lps, softies clams , and a few Sps. I dont really have anything in the system to take out nitrates but I do have my so called RDSb that is 4 " in a 28 gal tank. But I dont know if that would be enought to take out the nitrates where I added it about 2 weeks ago. I run ozone in the tank. to keep the bacteria down and to clean the water. I have a maxima ,2 derasa's and buying another Derasa and Crocea clam tomorrow so I will have 5 clams in my tank hoping that the nitrates will drop some what. But actually how many clams would you need to comsune enough nitrates any ways?

I love the carib sea select sand its tiny rocks but small enough for wrasses to dive into and small for a sand bed too. That is what I have in my tank in the R sand bed. I know that I will put a sand bed of the carib sea sand in the cube when i get if going. I wondering if I should go 30" high or 24 hight for the cube. the size will be either 30x30x24 or 30x30x30 I havent decided with that yet. I'm going to be running a 400 w SE with a lumerac reflector and a ice cap ballast with it. because I love wrasses and cuke's and conchs too so there I go chatting away about other things.

Well how many are likeing the BB? and how many prefer the sand bed?
