Barebottom

What is on the bottom of your tank to protect it?

I don't care for it but the ones I have saw either have starboard or nothing...hth

My live rock sits directly on the bottom of my tank, with live sand around it. I've done it this way, through at least 6 tanks, with no issues at all. I've seen lots of people use egg crate, starboard, pvc frames, and nothing at all. All seem to work just fine.

Yes but ugly is ugly! I would rather look at my sump than my frag tank at this moment. LOL

I know of 1 tank that's barebottom and its his DT he says he dosent miss sand he is more about corals than fish and says its easier to storm the tank and clean out I personally would never go barebottom dosent seem like a reef tank without the sand especially since I'm a wrasse lover

You can use a white acrylic sheet or starboard. I have a barebottom tank and really don't care about the lack of sand; it's a lot easier to clean.

I've seen many bare bottomed tanks, with the bottom covered in coralline algae, and they look STUNNING!!
