what you put on the bototm is personal pref. the starboard is the current in thing, i like just the sterile glass.. most people don't. the SB also protects the glass, but depending on your tank size i don't htink it is neccessary, i am no structual engineer though... the SB protects from rockfalls as well... just went BB yesterday, have to do a water change and get all the crud that has settled overnight, rearranging the rock on monday, I will post pics then...

Its a super duper rare clear tang. They are very hard to take care of because you have to hand feed them and they are a B***H to find. I'm also amazed at how clear the water is since I run it skimmerless.

Wow, those are amazing!
