Substrate.....or no substrate?

This is the most civilized sand thread I've ever seen... by the way, I have no opinion Sand or no sand, it's all good.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice! I've decided to tack the $4.99 sand-printed drawer-liner from Canadian Tire to the underside of the tank.....BB it is! For now, at least.....

I think it's a wise decision. Like it's already been said, you can always add a shallow or even deep sand bed after the fact. Alot of the bb tanks that are established you don't even notice the bare bottom till you really look

Here is a couple pics of my tank from a while back. You can see how corals will spread and cover the bottom if you give them time. And the coraline doesn't look all that bad.

WOW. Nice tank! I wouldn't even have noticed the BB....go figure....
