FWIW, I went with black sand and a black background on my FW planted setup and I'm really liking it.
My problem is I'll have 1/2" styrofoam under the tank, and unless I can find a big panel of the white, I'm afraid I'll be stuck with the pink and.. well.. I don't want a pink bottomed tank (unless it's coraline.. but that's different). Maybe I'll just paint the styrofoam..

I have never painted Styrofoam, would the paint react with or dissolve dissolve it??
If you wanted to go that route, you could always through a coat of pant on the outside of your bottom glass... I guess you would be stuck with only one colour though. But you could always just cover it over with starboard or sand if you wanted later. - Chad

I used the blue styrofoam instead of pink on my BB tank.
Tony you could always put some sign board between the styro and the underside of the glass. That stuff comes in almost any color. Just a thought.

Tank's too heavy to roll it onto the side and paint it, otherwise I'd consider that. I'd have to ask for 3 or 4 sets of hands to help me with getting it onto its side, and I'm thinking I'd rather save that favour to ask for instead getting the tank onto the stand when the time comes..
Maybe sign board would work .. that's an option I was sorta thinking about too.
