hmm i have run both bb and dsb. personally the bb is nice for the clean look and the easy to maintain but the DSB looks really nice and always has the nice look if you keep it clean personally i like both

About all I'll do is siphon the display (and sump and fuge) as part of the monthly water change.

Since I moved my tank on the weekend, and having no sand currently.. I've found it appealing going bare bottom for a while... really like the look of the coraline covered bottom
