sand or bare glass bottom?

[kodak]

Well... I've had an established 10g BB nano running for about 2 months now, it was/is a friends tank as for maintaining the tank for the last 2 months, I've had no major issues to speak of.. I am new to salt but I have kept african cichlids almost exclusively for the past 9-10 years.. Since this neat little salt tank was transplanted into my livingroom, already containing 6x 6 foot cichlid tanks and a 72g as well, not to mention one of the bedrooms... The little tank started to grow on me and the maintenance was not all that much for a tank of this size. I started to get a little curious of how difficult it would be to get one going... The tank & filters were just sitting around, so I set it up.. It's a 10g with 2x hob filters, live rock in one HOB, Caulerpain and small bag of aragonite in the other (all from a friends established tank) 15lbs LR from that same established tank, and water from the same tank, I have a single clown fish and a single pom pom crab, a few very small things on the LR besides a bit of coraline algae..

I like the idea of sand as far as asthetics are concerned, plus the extra critters in the sandbed. Still thinking....

Thats definitely the most useful comment on this thread.
I'll maybe try and comment some more when I get a tank featured on RC.

It sounds like you need a hug - you're too angry. *hug*

There, do you feel better now?

Maybe now you can lose just a bit of the attitude and lay off the personal attacks on members who have been here a long time and have helped a lot of people (Doug).

'sigh'. I apologize for even mentioning it, even though its taken out of context of the reason I did.



Thanks Andrew.
