Tips for keeping a DSB

[michika]

I second all the recommendations for further research. I would also suggest if you are going to go that route that you plan on getting something to turn over/stir up your bed frequently; sand sifting starfish, lipstick conch, etc.

I run a DSB, which is around 4-6" in my 230g. For the most part the top stays white and turned over because of my sand sifters, but at the same time there is also an accumilation of crap between the glass and the sand that never gets touched. Visually and aesthetically its ugly, so plan to clean or manually turn over the sand next to your glass.

Good luck!
