I dont think this idea is what your looking for, but I tried the faux sand-bed. I absolutely love it so far, couldnt be anything better, I think it throws all the bonuses in one. I have expoxied a sand-bed into the bottom of my 75g tank, and love the results. Basically, you get a sandbed look without all the drawbacks. Syphoning is easy, and it also protects the glass like starboard. The only drawbacks that I have found are that you cannot keep critters that need sand, its not removable, and corraline will grow on it and is hard to get off if you dont want it there. Personaly I like the corraline on it, but if you ever want it off, an urchin would probably do the trick. Also, you could do a high-gloss epoxy finish over it aswell, so that its smooth, but still with the sandbed look.
Just my 2 cents, if anyone wants more info, feel free to ask.
