    Hello everyone, I'm introducing this thread because I am interested in knowing the pros and cons of a bare bottom tank and a tank with sand. I have been in the hobby for 5 years now and I've always stuck with about 2" sand bed, but now that I'm running my biggest system yet a 120, I'm running it bare bottom. I can't argue, I like the look of it but I find myself missing the look of the sand and sometimes wanting to go back. I know it's possible (with dry sand) but before anything I just wanna hear everyone's thoughts on the topic and hopefully help me decide!
    Everyone is welcome to share their ideas and opinions, thanks
    Yoel

    Try some research. This has been debated to death.
