There are some good articles on the BN in COTM

I would lose the sand and go bare-bottom...the sand is just going to be a trap for uneaten food...tank will be cleaner(especially important if/when the fry are hatched) without substrate...I would also add some driftwood to the tank..

I agree about removing the sand. Also, they might not like the fact that the PVC is white, especially if there is bright light. IME, this is true for zebras, not sure if holds for bristlenoses.
