heres my 2 cents,

Pros -

I love the look of sand in a tank

Cons-

with 2 powerheads i ended up with all sand in the back and no sand in the front so pretty much ended up with bare bottom anyways.

tank crash when I siphoned the sand bed it had built up with amonia and nitrates (could litterly see bubbles and stuff come out of the sand)

sand getting blown into my lps

easier to see corals if they fell onto bb than in sand

needless to say my tank is bb right now in my new house lol
