Just start the tank BB for the first 2 months. Add a thin layer of sand afterwards. This is my standard startup routine for service accounts and installations. Works great.

Thank You all. I will add an ingredient now that might swing the argument 180 degrees....my new display will be acrylic.....which most likely solidifies my decision to go BB with a ton of cover corals. BB would greatly reduce the potential for scratches me thinks, unless there are some acrylic veterans out there who may offer some pointers on keeping a sand bed in an acrylic tank.

sand
I prefer coral sand because a nitrifying biofilm growing on a base containing calcium carbonate does not influence alkalinity.

Went BB. Fewer places to hide excess nutrients and less likely to scratch the acrylic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
