Thanks Michael.
bpimm from the group has had some really good experience with soil as a substrate. You should talk to him about substrates as well.
I ordered the Catalina fixture and have put two coats of paint on the stand. The bamboo is kind of hard to find at a decent price, so I may end up skinning the ends and center with birch with a nice stain. I think that will still look nicer than all black.
