Of couse it will become a detritus trap. As the pro-bare bottom enthusiasts will say the detritus must settle somewhere and it will settle in your sand. If you go bare bottom you can easily spot detrius build up and siphon it out. Some sandbed owners regularly vaccum their sandbed.

I only have a 1 inch sandbed and vaccum it monthly.

Thanks Tyler, what kind of sand do you have and what do you use to vaccum you sand?

Thanks.
