Live rock on eggcrate, sand or on bottom?

[Beverly]

Years back, when the BB rage began, we had 3 BB tanks - a 180g, a 72g and 37g cube. Not once in the time I ran those tanks did a fallen rock break the glass. And there were plenty of opportunities for rock to fall because I loved to re-aquascape

When we began running our tanks BB, we missed the look of the sand. Well, we missed the look of what a lovely white sandbed should have looked like because our sandbeds after a couple of years looked grungy - which was the reason we went BB. Eventually coralline algae grows on the glass, so nothing is really lost in the esthetics department.

I've debated putting a skiff of sand in our nano. But everytime I look in the bottom of the water change bucket I see the amount of crud siphoned out. It's a no-brainer to stay BB.
