sontdo Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I can't decide if I should have sand or bare-bottom for 280g tank? What's the best sand on the market? Thanks for your comment. Sonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Sand is the way to go IMO. I hear the premo seafloor special is good. Bare bottom is boring if you ask me. And you dont get the biological filtration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Sad marshall...my tank is boring? Haha just kidding. I have ALWAYS used sand. But my latest tank i didnt. I am actually liking it. There are pros and cons to each. Which do you find for visually appealing? You can always do a remote sand bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danik Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I use sand all the time, just do a very shallow sand bed 1" to 1 1/2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate213 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 X2 on the seaflor special grade- size is perfect. I don't like the look of most BB tanks, but they do seem to stay cleaner. I have seen one tank that they epoxied down just a small layer of sand and it looked fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Seaflor special grade. 1.5"-2" bed. I use this combo on many tanks and it always turns out great. There are a few exceptions in which I have some crazy flow that I go bare bottom but that is some really crazy flow. If I go bare bottom there is always the implementation of extra rock and/or a remote deep sand bed to allow for buffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
