substrate for reef tank- what do you use?

Hi, my reef is bare bottom these last 3 years, id like a change, I was thinking of using TLF reborn calcium reactor media- any tried that? I don't have any gobies or sand sifters or wrasses. tks

Don't waste your money on BAGGED live sand. Just get the dry sand version.

I use Tropic Eden Reeflakes

What was your experience with bare bottom? The ability to run a pristine reef is enticing

This latest WWC video shows the reborn as substrate quite well. Been giving it a thought myself, but I admit I'm a lazy reefer when it comes to siphoning the sand bed. I have one tank with sand, two without. Super easy keeping the bare bottom tanks clean!
