My tank probably isn't the best example of a thriving BB tank because I have been battling Acro flat worms and lost a ton of nice stuff but overall the tank still looks decent.

Great tank Richard. Hopefully other barebottom reefers will join in. I'm sure we are all curious. I just love to see the photos!

Greg, show us your set up?.I cant show you mine coz mine is none of the above.I been doing this method for 10 great yrs.none but A+'s in my book. SPS ,LPS , softies or all of them combine they all have succes w/ this method. People that fail in the past,realy got me thinking what in the hell they do different.Fail w/in 3yrs..

Here are some pics of my barebottom just so you won't think BBer's won't post pics of their tanks Greg
FWIW I personally don't feel like any established method works "better" than any other. IMO it's what works best for you Right side Left side Full tank shot Clams The tank was a SSB for the first year of it's life(after transfer from another tank with a 3" sandbed). Even with biweekly siphoning of the SSB it was impossible to keep detritus from finding it's way under the rocks and nitrate levels had crept up around 10(with no obvious ill effects, I just didn't like the levels) before I took the sand out. It's been BB for several months now and will stay that way when I move it into a 120 thanks, Chris

Mine is still a lot of frags and has a lot of growing to do but here it is anyways. BTW, gcarroll, I would love to have a tank that looks even half as good as yours some day.

I need a picture more recent than 3+ months ago, but until then:
FWIW, here's a prior thread of many BB tanks photos: http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...hreadid=640711

Actually the green one is an A. hyacynthus (sp). If you look slightly to the right of it and down a bit, the bro...I mean, Earth Toned piece forming the cave is the one I refer to as the WUE.
Good looking tanks everyone...And in the spirit of March Madness: Go BB-go BB-go BB-It's Your Birthday....
