You yeti/wookie types are always spouting off about the beginning of the world! Sheesh!

So you think a DSB (especially in a display tank) is just asking for problems, and you're not believing the hype on them. What sort of substrate do you use, if any?

Please elaborate on what made you decide on your choice. I NEED some yeti wisdom
