Has anyone tried BB?

I know this topic has been beaten to death but if anybody has tried BB please give me some feedback. Pics would be great as well.
I'm seriously considering trying this once I get my new tank up and running.
My eyes are starting to burn from reading so much on this topic!

I was using starboard, more for the safety of falling rocks but still bb. I enjoyed it.

George-
Is there anywhere around town to get the starboard, or do you have any suggestions?

im 6 months into BB with a new 20 gallon SPS only and so far wouldnt go back...i also like it because the two seio 1100s would otherwise create a big sand storm if i had sand....i have not had any rock shedding but i think that is because i bought the rock from a fellow reefer that was covered in coraline....

I did BB for a few weeks and hated it. I am not too keen on keeping everything tidy and clean, and there was some algae accumilation on the bottom of the tank which was ugly to me.

I am glad that I have sand, but that is just my opinion.
