Frag tanks. Sand or no sand

[KingNebTheGreat]

To me it seems like it can go either way. If you have a sand bed for your frag tank you need something in there sifting it. In addition you have increased media for stability and filtration If you have a bare bottom you in theory don't need anything or just a minor cuc. I want to see what people's opinions are on this and what your experience is with one or the other, or even both!

In my opinion it depends of what type of frags there will be, sps frags bottom less, lps and softies i prefer crushed rock as substrate on the larger side, specially handy for softies like zoas because they spreds everywhere and the substrate will work as frag pluggs

I agree with this; bare bottom, super high flow for SPS, and lower flow, rubble bottom for things that attach to the rubble pieces. Consider what you want to keep, and let that guide your decision
