how do you like it opposed to a ssb or dsb? i got to see some bare bottom tanks and they looked nice. not as natural, but nice nonetheless. i'm considering clearing out the substrate and just wanted to get a general consensus.
your bare bottom tanks

i heard if you bare bottom your tank its not a bad idea to color the bottom so its not clear.. paint it or something.. it doesnt sound like a bad idea..
i dont remember the total article but i think it would look better than a class bottom.. but that is just a couple of ppls opinions.. if you like the idea do it and if you dont like the idea dont.

well its better if you have live sand because it helps a lot including the live rocks
doesnt bare bottom tanks house less bacteria etc. for the tank to live and survive on? seems like it would be more sensitive to changes etc.
any thoughts???

Not really. Your filter should be able to shoulder most of the bio filtration needs of your tank.
I have never had huge tanks with giant monsters in them, but when I see pics from this site with tank that have bare bottoms and a couple monster in them they look quite nice. If you are going to include bottom dwelling fish or crustaceans then maybe a tank with sand would be better. I guess the it is just a question of personal preferance.
