Mine is dusty mauve :D
Was hoping it would blend in with the coralline algae, but it actually looks more blue-gray with the lights on.

I used foam core also, and painted it coralline purple.

I changed out my noisy Mag 9.5 for an Eheim 1260 also, and couldn't be happier. The 1260 is far quieter, and also runs cooler than the 9.5.
