Show me your black bare bottom tank

[i_declare_bankruptcy]

I went with black acrylic on the bottom of my new tank in case I decided to go BB but will probably end up with sand. However, I'd like to see pics of tank with black starboard/pvc/acrylic on the bottom if you have 'em! Ease of flow and cleanup are really attracting me to BB but I want to make sure it'll look nice with the black acrylic.

I dont have a black acrylic bottom but I did stick a black yoga mat between stand and tank as leveler. Purple coralline started to tank over. Here are a couple pics.

Thinking of making my new tank bare bottom and this caught my eye. We’re you worried about the mat leaching stuff into the water? Can you easily scape it to clean it if necessary?

Here's with black starboard. If you look really closely, you might see a few areas where I pried off layers of coraline. ;Woot

The mat goes under the tank so it shows through black

Ok... I'm glad I can laugh at myself. lol. Why not use thin black acrylic over the styrofoam pad?

After seeing WWC 900 and 500 gallon in person Its white starboard for me all day. Most ppl are going toward black (including WWC) for reason i can't understand - the black look to harsh and unnatural while the white reflects light better and the contrast of zoas and montis on white vs black is no contest.
