BareBottom, Whos got em:)
When i have my 60 cube done i'm really considering barebottom.
Those that have switched to BB what do you think? I love the thought of just having mega flow and not worrying about sand going everywhere. My 180 i had alot of sand, hated it, This tanik now I added just enough to barely cover the bottom, Like the look better than the deep but still find it annoying. |

When I redo my 120G, I am going bare bottom. With my two Tunzes, I had sand storms or sand mountains. Also - I figured it would be easier to keep "cleaner" water.

i went bare bottom when i had my sps tank. i hated it at first but got used to it. when the coraline algae starts to grow on it it looks great. now i have a zoa only tank and it is bare bottom. i will not go back to a sand bed in my tanks.

I have a glass tank, so I wall be using "Starboard." Starboard is a name brand that is also UV stable. From what I can gather, it could be pretty expensive. I am going to use high density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets. I will be ordering from Unite States Plastic Corp.
http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/pro...uct%5Fid=10369 If I buy it from USP, will TAPS cut it for me? Anyone have a table saw with an acrylic blade that I can use to cut my board? I will be beveling the edge with a router. BTW - are you going to just lay your rock directly on top of the starboard or are you going to create a stand for your rock? I was thinking of elevating my rock slightly off the starboard so that I can blow detritus off of the bottom. It should also improve flow. Last edited by Reefugee; 01/12/2008 at 03:56 AM. |
