And FWIW, I have used sand beds and bare in previous tanks, including a couple inches in my just down 90g and my 170 that was once featured back in 01 on RC.
Thanks

Congrats on being featured on RC 8 years ago...lol
I stated that my exceptionally overstocked, low tech nano functioned seamlessly with a dsb, where do you see anyone saying that a "nano" (and you are being very general here, I was being very specific) won't work without a dsb?

where?

and i specified a couple fo times in this thread where a dsb is handy, reread the whole thread please as you must have missed it when you read it before your last comment.

I just mention that, to show I,m also a fan of dsb. Not sure whats funny about it.

I was asking a question as you said I would NEVER, {big letters}, set up a nano without one, thats all.

I would think I know a fair bit about a dsb, just debating the need for it to provide stability in any specific aquarium.

Anyways, I just wrote a large piece on sandbeds but took it out. Been in enough of these discussions over the years and there,s plenty of info on them in the RC threads, and in our links on here for those that wish to read up on them.

I agree with the latter posts, {whatever method you use, research it and do it right.}
