You should PM Fooser. His rockwork is WORLD CLASS and I'm sure he'll have some awesome advice.

Here's a video:

There's barely any rock touching the bottom of the tank, most of it is held up in the water column by clever spacing, ingenious stacking and a crap load of zip-ties. He's also allowed plenty of room for his corals to grow out.

The last point is something a lot of people do not properly account for when they set up their elaborate rock work overhangs and whatnot. Corals can grow big and they can do it FAST. Take a look at Leonardo's Formosa Forest for further evidence on this:

Another option is to go total, all-out Iwagumi and run something like this:

Minimal rockwork, just plenty of planning and foresight towards composition and negative space.
