Live rock on eggcrate, sand or on bottom?

When we began running our tanks BB, we missed the look of the sand. Well, we missed the look of what a lovely white sandbed should have looked like because our sandbeds after a couple of years looked grungy - which was the reason we went BB. Eventually coralline algae grows on the glass, so nothing is really lost in the esthetics department.

I've debated putting a skiff of sand in our nano. But everytime I look in the bottom of the water change bucket I see the amount of crud siphoned out. It's a no-brainer to stay BB.

You've gotta get some picks up of your new tank!

Hi Ken,

I've been meaning to take new photos, but think I'll wait until the LR I bought in early December cures. That way, I can re-aquascape (my favourite thing!) the new 25g combining the new and old rock
