I'm not even sure why a DSB has to be deep anyway. My tank has a thin layer of fine sand with part of the tank bare glass. I have not performed water changes as many do (I am sensing arguements coming already) and have not seen a rise in nitrates or phosphates. This is just how I have gone about it and don't recommend any particular method since I don't know as much as most others do.

Probably right about the arguments Kari but I know a guy who swears you don't need a sand bed in a reef tank(remember I'm just passing this on). He doesn't do water changes either. He has different corals in his tank but it is no less impressive (insert spectactular) than yours.
