Well, I'm finished hooking up all my pumps, and they've decided that my tank will stay bare-bottom. I have 2 streams and a seaswirl from the return, and no way is any type of substrate going to stay put. :razz:
On the upside, the fish love the current, and the corals don't look too offended either.
Kinda funny watching hermits flying across the bottom of the tank :biggrin:

Well, all is not lost. I think once the tank grows in a bit, the sand might stay...in some spots anyway! If not, I guess I'll have alarge bag of sand for sale! :razz:

ya, I'm dreaming! There's a chunk of rock in one open area that is the size of a golf ball. It's moved about 4 inches in the current so far. Sand is never gonna stay put!
