Bare bottom soft coral tank

[Nicholas41]

Would it be possible to have a 6 gallon soft tank? Bare bottom with only Zoas, palys and mushrooms?

Or any suggestions for a good looking or cool 6 gallon? I put 600 into it and had it for two months, most I'll get for it is 150, so I figured I may as well make good use of it!

Any suggestions?

I had a 3 gallon bare bottom just like that for a while. I seemed to do just fine.

If you set up for soft coral, you can use dsb, you don't need strong wave, it looks better and biological benefits as well.

or you could run a RDSB in your sump or something( i dont but have considered it recently). the advantage of a BB tank is the same in a softy or sps tank tho more prevalent in a sps tank so you can blast the bottom of the tank to keep the debris suspended in the water to get it to your skimmer. i do something similar in my BB softy tank. i keep most of my current near the bottom to help push my crud up to the overflow and hope it gets in my skimmer. now it is a new attempt so i cant say it works great but so far its going good. there are a few spots that have build up of crud and i just suction them out
