if the debris is waste or food... wouldn't the bacteria in the coral chip help to break it down?

Bare bottom also can!

i would opt for sand. BAre bottom looks to bare for me...lol, but thats my opinion. There are many beautiful aquariums set up with sand or bare-bottom

Instead of coral chip, you can consider biohome or similar products. Coral chips require regular rinsing to remove detritus.

Aragonite only option. Crushed coral is ugly and sand is useless.
