A little sand is good. It is kind of weird having a base rock suspended at several points where it suppose to join flawlessly with bottom glass panel. If i were you, i will leave that small amount of sand as it is.
Yeah I may, the only problem is the fish and inverts push it around everywhere so it constantly gets pushed under the rocks
I went BB on my 75 in April. I see no difference in my levels Jut not a bunch of HA growing on sand. Still have algae issues on the rock. Cleaning is "much" more easier ! Other wise ,I really can't see any difference in stability .
I think a sand bed looks better though . In this case that doesn't matter as this is an experimental tank.
That being said, someday I might add new sand .
Quoting this from another thread because it's nice!
Great thread.
I am going to slowly syphon out the sand over several weeks.
I am not in a rush, but I have been battling with cyano on the sand bed for months now.
My only concern is toppling rock work. Some of the rock work pieces are planted nicely in the sand.

Anyone who has gone bare bottom with their tanks has any of you put down a sheet of acrylic to protect the glass bottom from falling rocks.
