I've contemplated going bare bottom on my next build. I am curious if fleshy LPS like welsos or scollys or plates can be placed in a bare bottom tank. I love these corals and that may be the deciding factor on sand / no sand for me!
I will be BB in my 300, I have never had any issues before with LPS and BB. You will just use tiles instead of frag plugs for them and they will weight it down
did that include "brain corals" like lobos?
Just got delivered sat. This will be BB I love the look of sand but hate scratches and I am an SPS guy so I love flow. But I will have LPS in there for sure. The wife and kids hate sticks and like things that move.
did you build the stand out of 80/20 aluminum? I've seen lots of stands built out of this lately. I'm curious about the structural integrity for a 300+ gallon tank. 8x300 is a lot of weight!
