To sandbed, or not to sandbed?

[maxxin69]

That's the real question. I know that this question has been asked a million times and more, but I'm wanting an opinion. I currently have sand and some lps on the sandbed, but recently I've been wanting to take out the sand and place high-end encrusting montis on the bottom and maybe place rocks in their path so that they have some texture. Does this sound attractive to you guys? Or should I just bag it and keep it like it is now?

I went bare for about 10 months without success. Ever since adding 1" of reef flake everything started taking off. Then again my problem was lack of nutrients

I love my BB reef...

Ultimately it's up to you... don't worry about what other folks think... if you like it then roll with it...

I think monti or chalice on the bottom would be sweet
