Yes sand. Shallow. Really adds to filtration, and the types of fish you can keep.

+1 on the variety of fish you can keep. I have a bare bottom tank and love it. Sand isn't always getting everywhere. My glass is never getting scratched when I clean it. Also sand is a great filter but can be a bad thing if not cleaned and taken care of. It looms nice but boy do I love not having to deal with it!
