I love the open,swim though areas on the bottom of the formations.Why a bare bottom?Why not even a thin layer of sand?

Looks really great , just a question. Why direct barebottom as opposed to starboard or something to protect from rockslides etc. ? What are you doing for circulation ? Thanks Peter

yea i never did find my sandsifting star :thinking:
i decided on the BB after a year with southdown and constant problems keeping it clean. you cant really direct flow over southdown casue it creates too much of a sand storm.
the tank has been setup for over 2 years now and i direct my powerheads over the glass to keep detritus in suspension. its much easier to clean with no substarte and i have GSP's, xenia, and anthellia slowy covering the glass.
I didn't know about starboard unitl after the fact, i'm still debating on adding a small layer of coarse agaronite. i'm kinda used to the BB now. it does take time to get use to it though.
Thanks for the replies everyone :D
