You guys hear anything about tile bottoms? I don't know what to do

The starboard is expensive... what about this stuff? http://www.interstateplastics.com/Bl...01107262317-5p

I just don't know how I feel about the black HDPE and having a black bottom. I want to go as natural looking as possible, so I am considering a 1/4" sand bottom, but I'm worried about my goby or my powerheads blowing sand away from one spot and the glass showing through in those bare patches... It would be a PITA to always go in there and even out the bare spots wouldn't it?

Heres a thought... I'm brain storming as I'm writing this... What about a natural/sand colored tile bottom with 1/4 sand on top?
I would go with just tile but I don't think I'd like the look of a tiled floor in my tank, all the lines between each tile and what not... so I think the sand on top would make it look more natural, then if some blows away in some spots it would still look alright

What do you guys think?
