I'll put in another recomendation for very little sand or no sand. 9 years ago I went for the DSB craze and with in 4 years I had problems like you wouldn't believe, I took the sand out and all the problems went away.
I wouldn't use sand at all in a tank again, and Barbottom takes a while to get looking nice, but there are other ways like useing a natural stone tile on the bottom like Travertine, or marble, ect.. Travertine is composed of Calcium carbonate (limestone) so it pretty much the same make up as live rock, and corals can attach to it veary easy. one thing look for pouros Travertine not filled. Steve

If you are new to the hobby going with no sand is nice to learn how things acually work. You can see where detris is collecting and you can easily suck it up. For me it was a good learning experience on my first tank to have no sand.
That being said I personally love the look of sand, and find it no problem to keep clean. Crabs help
