Shallow tank owners

[freezetyle]

So im going to be setting up a shallow tank(14") in a bit here and have been brainstorming how to combat the sandstorms with a vortech. I am not 100% sold on bare bottom because i like how sand looks. i have debated making a sandbed with some eggcrate, pond foam, and sand but am still not sure. Any suggestions?

Josh (jdigital) did you ever figure out a way to place your power heads so it wouldn't happen?
