I asked a very similar question in another NG about a pirahna tank.  I have
decided to go with slate tiles (real slate) accross the bottom and fill in
the small gaps in between with black sand - kinda like setting paver stones.
I thought it would look better than a bare bottom and not be reflective.
Take Care,
