All I know is that with my bare bottom system I am not battling anything - just pure straightforward maintenance, which was my goal all along.

Instead of solving the next problem/issue, I can concentrate on water changes, simple cleanings and colorful SPS.

The lesson I am taking away from this is: If I were going to recommend an approach for taking care of a reef tank in a classroom, I would recommend bare bottom. IMHO easier to maintain and you do not have to spend $$$ on LS, or cleaning crews.

Come on, lemme hear the rebuttles!!! ;-)

The tank looks great !

I went through the same exact situation , it's funny how certain individuals can't get over the fact BB do work and work well .

There's actually a very nice thread on DSB's going on that could use new participants... might wanna take a look at it guys

And I mean whoever wants to talk about DSB's working or not.

I think it looks nice both before and after. I'm currently getting ready to tear down my BB tank and redo the flow. Hopefully my tank will end up looking like your after shots.

As far as the macros go, I had some gorgeous macros also for a while. But like you, I eventually got some pest algaes that outcompeted (razor calpura and some dinoflagualites). And then it starts to be a real pain.
