Bare bottom or not?

[MarkoD]

I've read a thousand threads on the subject and still can't decide.

I don't like the look of bare bottom but don't like the problems that sand causes when it traps neutriants.

Has anyone here been able to find a best of both worlds?

I've seen some people epoxy sand to the bottom, but after a whole it gets covered with algae and it looks like crap.
