What do each of you think about the bare bottom method.. no I dont mean because its easier to clean but how it looks?...
IMO: sorry to the people who have BB tanks.. but I think they ae the uglyest tanks you can have... you go from Planted beautiful tank to a GLASS BOX with fish in it... just ugly!.... I mean we ae supposed to create beautiful environments for our fish to live in.. not stick them in glass boxes! errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... just my opinion !

BB tanks are especally clean and hygenic
planted tanks are dirty
Discus love soft water, warm water and CLEAN water
nothing is cleaner then a BB
as for the ugly factor

yeah ... From one point of view BB tank are UGLY !!!
But from others, it creates clean water which is much more important than beautiful house for our fish.
I got my display tank fully planted tho.
And as Shawn said BB tank for breeding ^^

Im a gravel bottom planted tank owner, recently set up a BB tank,
I reckon they look awesome.
They look so clean and basic. Quite interesting aswell.
