    Even though I have only 4 months experience, Ive been reading mounds of information. The barebottom and SSB allow for alot more flow. I personally like the DSB because of anerobic bacteria that thrive, and reduce nitrates also I have alot of sand dwellers too.

    I have pistol shrimp and jawfish (which is why I was running the 3" sand bed).......I was leaning towards the DSB but keep seeing things about DSBs building up crud and causing a potential crash if not kept turned up (through either human help or animals digging)......
