Aquascape idea needed for 1000GL!

My 10 ft x 4 ft x 3 ft tank is ready for action this weekend.

I need some cool idea peferable in photo for aquascaping.
There is over one ton of liverocks from my old tanks.
I plan to hire a helper from the LFS to help out on the aquascaping.
Natural sea water will be used along with the old water from the existing tanks.
There will be very shallow coral sand just for the look.

I really like islands and very open rock work... with that size I would make some channels as well

I would also put a perch over the island 1 for sea-gulls.

I've always liked the look of cpfarm's tank. You could do the same but with sps.

as open as possible....give the corals room to really grow like they do in the wild.

i'd probably go with a channel 'scape like the cpfarm, but add some small island/pinnacles in front and back to give depth.

a large overhang/shelf would be nice too...

Multiple islands.....are you only going to have it viewable from 3 sides? or 4?

I would make it so you can walk all the way around the tank.
