What's on the bottom?

[G-money]

Curious to see the proportions of different substrates in use now that the BB "fad" may have tempered a bit - or at least can't really be considered a fad anymore. Folks have had time to try it and stick with it or go back to something else.

So, what you got?

 

[Jeremy Blaze]

Still a DSB guy here.

 

[The Marmot]

Enough sand for asthetics only, 8 gallon tall=not enough volume for DSB to function.

 

[MiddletonMark]

Bare

 

[G-money]

Pretty even so far, as I would expect.
Keep 'em coming!!

 

[zapata41]

totaly smooth, just coraline covered acrylic.

 

[JMBoehling]

Bare.. Glass covered with coraline...

 

[twon8]

ive got one bare, one a sand bed, probably 2-3 inches.

 

[DaddyJax]

I have about 4"-6" in one and 3"-4" in the other!

 

[otolith]

A dirty shallow sand bed in my tank. :lol:

 

[Zaphod]

Like a baby's butt!

 

[Covey]

I put starboard but it is no name HDPE from Menards. $12 for 4' by 8'. Whole lot cheaper than starboard!

Looks like I'm the only "faux" so far. (whoops, not anymore ) Not really suprising, since once I get the ambition, I'm going to yank it and go "baby style" as well. I haven't found it to be the happy medium I was expecting between the aesthetics of sand and the functionality of BB. Mainly because it's seemed to lack in the functionality dept as time has gone on. I have too much detritus adding up for my taste...and I know it could be much better.

Maybe I should experiment with some bottom-level water movement before I take a few years off my life by dismantling the tank and putting it back together in the same day... :lol:

Still pretty even representation - kind of curious what the "others" are.

 

[Znut Reefer]

Another bare here, acrylic

 

[oldreefer76]

bare and always will be

 

[wentreefgirl]

One bare and one 2".

 

[trueblackpercula]

nice pole

 

[fishdoc11]

Bare

 

[Wiskey]

I put starboard in my 15, but not in my 50. I cut the edges of the starboard to a 45 deg angle on somebody's advice (can't remember who) and I now wish I had done it on my other tank too.
