Sand or bare, {corals}

[IanWR]

As with all aesthetic choices there is not a "right" answer, but you did ask for opinions, so...

I would go with sand, and display your goodies on the rock and/or sand. I have seen some beautiful bare bottom tanks but they always have an "arty" feel, more like sculpture than a natural look. I prefer the softer look of sand to the stark look of glass. Just my 2 cents.
