here is part if my BB covered in coraline you can see on the right that the ditris settles in that spot and I suck it out on average once or twice a week
works good for me

I have a good skimmer and I do weekly water changes
my prams are always good

i don't have any recent pics of my tank. for me, and i cannot stress this enough, for me BB is the way to go. my tank has never looked better since i switched. i had a stubborn algea problem...green hair, red hair, several types of green bubble, red bubble...for almost 2 years, i switched and it is starting to go away after a few months. now, i can't say that it 100% b/c of going BB, i've also added a skimmer but between the skimmer and going BB my tank has never looked better. that being said, i don't think BB is for everybody, and isn't the best setup for every tank. seen great looking tanks on both sides. i'm hoping to get a new batch of frags soon, so some new pics should be coming soon.

Great thread. I would love to see full tank shots of both types with-out all the drama (which is fun to read) in a thread.

I'll be getting my digital camera hopefully within the next couple weeks. I'll post some pics then, but can anyone else post pics?
