I'm running a microreef (15 gal) with no sand and a bunch of live rock
(tank is about 1/2 full of live rock). Nitrates are zero, but I have to
watch the pH.

I used to have a 65 gal tank with a 3-4 inches of live sand. When I
moved out and broke down the tank, the sand was all poopy underneath. I
had a whole bunch of red and blue legged hermit crabs which I thought
would sift the sand. Apparently they didn't sift the sand much below
the depth of 1/2 inch. Lots of cool humongous worms in the bottom of
the sand though.

Are people concerned about all the poopy stuff that builds up down in
the sand?

Just out of interest what do you run your reef tank with a DSB or a Bare

Mine is a 4'' - 5'' DSB

Thanks
