The bottom has 3 more shallow parts.. so Its hard to fill with tiles without looking uneven.. But I do not think bare will look good!
Maybe tile and sand?
Any suggestions?

Ideas for aquarium bottom?

In my opinion, with some rare exceptions, the best substrate will always be natural Sand with a variaty of corn sizes, ideally from a local river. It looks great and the fish feel and will shoe a lot more natural behaviour.
Especially bottom dwelling and digging fish will appreciate it a lot, as it stimulates them way more than the typical same size sand you can buy in every store could. And in combination with a current it will also arrange itself naturally just like in the stream.

Do you think I can spread some clear silicone on the bottom of the tank and then pour some of the sand?
This way the rays would never make a “hole” in the sand and show the “ugly” bottom?
Also suggestions on the grain size for the sand? I am thinking JBL River sand.. its 0.8mm and round grains!
Just don’t want the sand to stick to the rays! I had WIO sand that was 0.1-4mm sand and it was too fine.. So maybe 0.8mm would be nice?
