Deep thoughts.....

Anybody have any tried-and-true tricks to creating the illusion of infinity in tanks with a front-to-back depth of 4+ feet?

I just picked up my 550g glass tank on Sunday and would like to start building the intra-rock circulation grid. About 90% of my circulation will come from beneath the rockwork and I need to settle on a layout before I go any further. I'm considering and toying around with a lot of ideas including combos of back-panel acrylic mirror and colored rear panels, also creating caves, islands and towers of rock at varying heights and depths.
 
My original plans were going to include a mirror on the back (at an angle so the fish didn't go insane), or maybe a one-way mirror so that I could still see in from the back.

In the end, I view through the back so constantly that I never put the mirror in place....
