Sand or BB

I've been debating this for a long time. I finally have the new tank setup ready for water and figured id throw this out.

Mikec sent me a great link to a forum discussussion on this topic. In thinking about what fish I'm going to want to keep,wrasse family very high on the list i realize they don't all sleep in sand beds

Please chime in. Pros/cons

Tank is 150g: abound 150-175 of rock total. I have extra and I'm happy with how it looks at the moment

If your going Sps its not a bad idea if you can stomach the look. You could always put a tubawear in the rear with sand so you could keep some sand sleeping wrasses.


From my experience reading and knowing people, if your not completely 100% about going bb then it will drive you crazy.

I honestly don't like the look of bb tanks. I do think it us healthier considering you don't trap a bunch of crap in your sand but if maintained correctly and with the right critters, a sand bed is sweet looking!

Yea. I agree with both points. I thought of the sand trap idea too.... It would be easy adding sand after the fact guess if I for some reason change my mind. I envision gsp or some other easy growing coral in front on tank floor, maybe some zoos or Palys on other side
