Carpet, Hardwood, or Crushed Coral?
New Guy again....question of the day to my reef friends in Calgary.
When I built my house it was carpet vs. hardwood. Now that I'm building a salt water aquarium its sand vs crushed coral, and add to that the live-sand angle. I want to work toward having a little of everything in my tank as time and experience permits....a few fish, a few corals, a few anemones. What would you put on the floor of a new 120 Gallon Fish House? Thank you!! Mike

I like the look of fine aregonite also.
 (Not too deep though. )

Depending on the type of anemone (and please don't keep a "few"), you may need to provide some sand. I'm joining the bare bottom gang, although I do prefer the look of fine sand. I think if you do use sand, only put it in areas that you can see and clean, meaning not under the rock work.

Hi Bob...great for you to join the discussion....an honor.
I snuck in and fixed the link (rookie mistake). What would you put on the bottom? I have to say I'm leaning towards a very thin (1 inch max) sand mix of some type. Mike
