This sounds like it could be an awesome tank. I hope you have luck with it and keep posting pictures.

Have seen two tanks similar to you describe and though I might be able to swing the space, doubt I'll ever do. Still keep thinking about them.

On tank years ago at a LFS that had mudskippers thought was fantastic. Rather front to back, one side had a planted land area with plants then sloped into the water and gave a beach area in between. Having only seen mudskiimers on TV, I was impressed.

Other tank is at the Edm Telus (Space/Science) Ctr in the kids area. It's a long narrow wave tank with a gravel beach area. Idea is you create wave and then watch it crest. With macro and softies would be great with the motion. Biggest negative I would think is keeping the viewing pane clear. Thinking it's like the glass area above the water line in my sump, little salt creep, little scum and bubbles.

An issue of FAMA last year sometime had a tide pool tank that someone had built into their system; Was a very neat idea how it worked
