Refugium substrate choices

Hi everyone, i'm taking a poll on what people's choices in refugium substrate are based on their good results with what they have. Thanks!

oops, I hit the wrong button...I'm all for DSB in the refugium and I like shallow sand bed of 2" or less in the display, although currently I'm running bare bottom in my 85g display...too shallow of a tank right now for sand...I have a lot of flow.

Those percentages arent going to be accurate the way you have it set up as it is possible to select just one of the options where you are trying to get two types of info. i.e. type of sand, and depth of the sand bed. If you would have made the following options and only let people choose one option then the metrics would be valid.
1. Fine sand, shallow bed
2. Course sand shallow bed
3. Fine sand, deep bed
4. Course sand deep bed
5. bare bottom
6. bare bottom with refugium

etc.
