Aquascaping an 18"cube

Does anyone have a good rock layout for a small cube?? I want the tank to have 3 visible sides with many horizontal surface for coral placement.
I am considering 2 or 3 tiers of rock forming a mountain in the middle of the tank. The back of the mountain would touch the rear glass with only 2" of sand between the rock and the glass on the front and sides of the tank.
The first level would start 2-3" from the glass leaving just enough room to clean the algae. The second level would be supported by PVC and the rock of the first tier. The small 3rd tier would probably only just set on the rock edges of the lower tier.
The PCV would "save" rock and also allow better water flow through the LR.
Does anyone have a better idea??

Not a very good pic. but here is mine. I tried to do the 2 to 3 tiers like you said but I did mine all with rocks. My cube is 24"




Here is a cube post with lots of pics. Might get some ideas there.
