Large amounts of rock properly placed, with large amounts of flow wll take care of that.
Rock walls obviously do not work with this type of tank, places for water to flow through and under are vital. Minimize rock conntact with the bottom of the tank, properly place powerheads/streams or CLS outputs. Those are the rules

Yes agreed ! Very important to keep that detritus suspended

The great thing about all these trends is that it is slowly giving people more options, all while proving that one can be succesful in the hobby using an array of different solutions to produce a succesful aquarium.

I believe the first heaters for aquarium (I am talking WAY back) were open flames. So, we still have a ways to go for things to trully come full circle.

Take er easy

I have a BB and love it a lot.
If I ever set up a small tank (20 g or less) I may put sand in there...would be a softie tank though.
My thoughts are on a tank that small I could replace the sand whenever I wanted too with minimal problems.
