Practical range is F to F 3 octaves. The top 2 octaves are the meat and potatos range. Try to avoid too much technical work in the lowest octave. Write in Bass Clef. Tubas are generally non-tranposing instruments.
Instead of writing for a BBb tuba and transposing, write music in the proper range and let the tubist decipher it.
