I found unsealed travertine tiles looked and did the best for my bare bottom tanks. They quickly covered in coraline, and many corals seemed to grow faster on the travertine then on normal LR (though it was possibly my imagination). It also has the benefit of turning your entire bottom into a ready made frag rack of sorts with all the nooks and crannies that pods and sponges love.

Right now I have about an inch of sand/crushed coral mix.

I have over 200 hermit crabs and various snails and shrimp.
I have 4 mp40s all on full blast.

Junk still seems to settle. Should I be vacuuming the sand? Some say its good to vacuum, some say its bad to disturb the sand.
