BB or SB or is partial possible?

[JVH]

I am sure this subject has been addressed 100+ times and I know like my Ick Issue, there are different opinions on It.
So after my 72 days of going fallow, I will be upgrading to a Nuvo SR-60.
Originally I was going to go with the 80 or 120 but I feel like the 60 is more manageable for me with water changes since I'm hauling buckets of water.. Besides, another upgrade could be something to look forward to after the 60g upgrade!!! Right? :nod:

So I have a BB in my 29 about an inch and it is a pain to keep clean but I do like the look and my nassarius snails love it. I was thinking it would be so much easier o care for and clean he detritus in a larger tank if I had a BB..But I would need to re home my 4 snails.

What do you guys all have and what do you like/hate or wish you never did as far as sand goes.

Is pink sand ok to use? (Natural of course)

And, is it silly or possible to think I can do BB all over except for maybe 1/3 oft he front?

Sure it's possible. If you have high flow it may be hard to keep in one place. If you want the look of sand go for a shallow bed. I'm a barebottom guy but that's just my personal preference and I don't have any sand dwelling creatures. Pick what you like best and run with it.
