bare bottom : easy to clean, less hassle due to diano & cyano.
sandbed: can keep livestock that require sand, more natural looking, provides some additional biological filtration.

Start with sandbed unless you have bad experience with it. If you really find it hard to keep it clean, you can remove it later. Consider that possibility while setting up rockscape and while stocking animals.

Sounds good I appreciate it, wasn't even thinking that I could remove it later definitely nice to keep in mind!
