Star board for BB

[Tian85]

Thinking of going bare bottom and will like to know if using star board will have any problem with detrius build up.

Also will like to know where can i get star board?

Thank!

i knew of a reefer which uses starboard in his tank, but after a few years he had problem with high nutrient which he cant resolve which maybe due to this. So ended up restarting his whole tank just to remove it.

I am running bare bottom now, but maybe some reefer which have experience can share on this.

I just re-scape to run bare bottom, easier to maintain.

In reefing terms, bare bottom means nothing on the base of the tank. Most reefers who use egg crates as a cushion between the live rocks and the base of the tank will have some form of substrate, mainly sand, to conceal them.

hahahaha.... I had a tough time removing the rocks with the reefer Harelquin mentioned..... not worth it.... just stack the rock securely as possible.... epoxy or superglue to be extra safe..
