Probably a wise decision, but the fear is that the rippled sand will read as water without he addition of colour.

I will be using a different timber for the base. perhaps the colour difference will be helpful???

I'm not sure the colour difference will pull it off, I think adding a couple or even one correctly positioned flowing underwater weeds would force the perception of it being underwater.
