You know your giving something alot of thought when you have a dream about it haha. I had a pretty vivid dream of me going with a BB and not liking the looks, but then I go and dump a bunch of sand in and have a neverending cloud of sand blowing around
 maybe the faux might do it for me now...

IMO ... (key word)
I would go BB in a nano... as you'll see how quickly nitrates and phosphates can build up. When you think about it.. unless you have something that can really stir up the sand... its just like a bed of gunk and crap... a bed of gunk and crap that you can't really see. Over time it just keeps building up, right? But in a BB tank, nothing can settle in the bottom like that... and keeping the tank free of detritus would be much easier IMO. Yes, it probably will look a little weird in the beginning, but overall and in the end I think it would be worth it... That's just my view on it now, and I am thinking of going BB myself,.... at the very least if you do decide to go with sand, I would do the FSB, or a very small sand bed... (easier to keep clean this way as well) Good luck, let us know what you go with

Because I like the sand look so much, in my 20g nano I am setting up I am doing a DSB in it, but am willing to replace it when it becomes a problem.

and what would the problem be that you would have to replace the sandbed over?
