I added some white gravel to the solid black that I originally had. I also added some driftwood. The wife loves the white gravel and I am still up in the air about it. I of course had to throw in some ray pics, especially of my female triple spot motoro.

I think it looks cool i would personly perfer sand but between black gravle and black and white gravel id choose black and white
 
Id personally add a little more black but it looks good
 
The tank is a 200 with a foot print of 72" X 27". All but 2 rays are going to be moved into my pond this fall.
 
I'm no good with opinions..

but Im curious if you are worried at all about waste building up in the gravel? Or do you syphon that frequently? .. I set up most my tanks for functionality but thats why your tank looks way better and would be much nicer inside a living room :D
 
I do a water change every 3 days and siphon the gravel every 6 days. Usually don't get a lot of solid waste out of the gravel. The rays are constantly moving it around and digging in it. I have a lot of current at the gravel level so most of the waste ends up in the filter.
 
not my cup o tea.. i did like the black gravel but not the white in it... but the set up over all looks good...
