DSB, SSB or BB Experiences

[Moogled]

Hi Reefer_Rob.

I've had a 33 gallon barebottom tank running for about 4 months now. When it comes to maintenance, BB has certainly made my reef easier to keep clean.

The detritus mostly collects in several dead points which make removing waste a CINCH. That way, I don't have to worry about the continually siphoning water while I search for the areas that have detritus.

I've noticed that some people on the board do not like the look of a BB tank. However, painting the bottom (you can spray the back too) of the tank white makes the final product seem similar to a tank with a sandbed. Another bonus is that the white paint also reflects light.
