you know, i have been on the fence about doing this in my tank aswell.

i think im gunna give it a shot.

gonna give this a try for a little while. I think it looks super clean. if it starts to bug me then Im gonna try and paint the bottom of the glass a sand color and see it that will fit both "needs". for now, Im tired of the dirty sand and want to try something new. I think my sand was holding onto a lot of algae and making my water look green/yellowish. My next improvement will be to replace the MH bulbs with new ones and see if that brightens things up.
