Considering a switch to barebottom, looking for advocates and detractors

I like the idea! But you may want to use ceramic or porcelain (sp) tiles instead of the travertine. I know that natural stone has some residual elements that may leach into the tank if it is not completely sealed. Just my 2 cents

True that.

be careful with ceramic tile as well. Some glazes have copper in them, I would steer clear of any with red coloring as those probably contain copper

There's. lots of threads about people using tiles as frag plugs for years. Probably wouldn't be to hard to get a hold of some that would work.
