Thank you Jim! I love the look of sand too and when were first setting up the tank I thought not having a sand bed was going to drive me crazy. I am use to the tank being bare bottom now and I am glad we went with a bare bottom aquarium. This tank gets fed equivalent to 18-24+ cubes of frozen Mysis a day and we would not be nearly as successful with sand. Having the tank bare bottom helps us out tremendously with keeping the tank clean and maintaining great water chemistry. Even with this much food going into the aquarium the nitrates and phosphates are not detectable.
