Sandbed or no sandbed, that is the question...

Here is a pic of it before there was much in the tank. Gives you an idea of what the finished product looks like:

Talking to Bev about her BB, it is much harder to stack live rock because you can use the sand to level the piece of rock how you want it.

I agree, bare bed just seems so sterile.. so LFS like.

But Greg we have one up on LFS were better then they are.. I love my Bare bottom tank lots of flow for the crap to stay lifted for the overflows to pick up..

I guess that is true! If I was doing a tank that was SPS dominated I might consider it.. but I would miss the sand though

I think it depends on what kind of animals you want to keep. I went barebottom because I wanted to keep sps and I think it is easier to keep the water cleaner with a BB setup. Still, I use a Fuge with a deep sand bed and grow Macro Algea
