False Bottom vs. LECA: Advice?

[WhyteLocust]

Hey guys,
I'm just about ready to start construction and I've come to the latest important decision: False bottom or LECA for drainage.
What are the pros and cons of a false bottom vs. LECA concerning drainage and maintenance, if any?

The enclosure will be housing geckos (U. phantasticus) so I really don't need a pond or a complex water feature. With that in mind I'm sorta cringing at the thought of blacking out the bottom portion of the tank to hide the false bottom. If it is better for the plants though, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

in your case I see no need for a water table or pump set up which is the best reason for a false bottom. I would go with several inches of leca, a mesh barrier of some sort (I use weed barrier) and then your substrate.

I asked this same question on dendroboard and after much consideration I am going false bottom in order to reduce weight. Im going with a rock background which is likely to be heavy and I might need to move my tank. There was some interesting disucussion there about which plants do better with false bottom and which do better with LECA.

I love uro's!! Post lots of pictures!
