Congrats on going for an upgrade! A 90 is a nice sized tank!

The first question would be ..how old is the sand you have in the tank now?
As far as DSB, SSB or bare bottom..that's a personal choice. Best to look at pics of other tanks..or home visits.. and see what you think.
If you have any wrasses that bury at night, or gobies, or plan on having them in the future then you'll need to keep a sandbed.
