why would you run a bare bottom tank ?

[corallite]

@brett35540 why would you run a tank with sand? It's just a huge shit trap that all reefs do better without. sand SUX

[BiggestE22]

DSB FTW. Its more natural and its proven to not be some "detritus trap" if done correctly. Bare bottom tanks is so 90s'...

What's the name of that red and green SPS @1:08?? Anybody know?

[finger11yo]

@shardinio bacteria can not break down nitrates only the things that cause them in a bare bottom tank you dont have to worry about keeping your sand bed a live i had a dsb and with in a week my nitrates went from 0 to 50 because the sand bed was disterbed and it had anerobic bacteria in which causes nitrates

@RaffleReefer10 each to their own really! Can be done both ways but DSB's do provide an easier way to control nutrients. They dont trap nutrients, they assist in breaking them down helping the tank to take more care of itself but it doesnt mean its the only way to it

@shardinio your wrong in my opinion, this is a reef TANK not a real reef in the the wild! Large amounts of flow carry the detritus to the overflow, sand beds trap nutrients and DSB's sort of ruin the look of the tank. A DSB in the refugium is a better choice than in the display. I like my tanks to look natural so a shallow bed of sand is a great choice unless you want burrowing/sand sifting fish or inverts.

How old is your reef??? 

[shardinio]

@corallite Yeah!! I mean no real reefs have sand do they?? duh! Im sure the great barrier reef would do much better without all that sand at the bottom of the sea! DSB's are natural nitrate reductors hosting bacteria that break down nitrates into harmless nitrogen gas. A much easier way of maintining a reef tank. please correct me if im wrong.

@corallite Sand is more of a choice I've noticed. (Mostly for people whom cannot aquascape!) I personally go for a bare bottom tank when I am looking for a less "Wide open" feel. Take a cramped reef in the ocean for example, Not much sand there 'eh?
