I set the tank up and everything just waiting on some filters to get here and then ill go out and buy the redheads/orange heads. Heres a picture, it looks prettty crappy right now but in time it's going to look better.
Background and other questions

I'm always the black sheep when it comes to background colors. Some fish (red/gold severums, psittacus, etc.) look awesome on a black background, but some fish tend to try and blend in with their background and they end up always looking dark or washed out. Being a discus keeper first, I tend to always go light colored because dark colors will cause discus to go dark. I have noticed that my notatus severums show heavy bars in dark tanks but they tend to show no bars in a light tank.
When it comes to orangeheads, they do look great in a tank with a dark background. You may want to use light sand, though. I think dark sand and a dark background is just too much. It's all personal preference really.

I've had them over black (TMS) and light (PFS) substrates, both with black background. As Ryan mentioned, they didn't look good at all with black sand...well IME anyway.
