I was thinking of attempting this as well, when I do I'm was going to incorporate pvc pipe into the wall for caves and tunnels for my fish

Iv'e tried that a bunch of ways with PVC pipe, and no matter what I do it always ends up looking like PVC pipe.

I know you said you are using the styrofoam/concrete method, but incase that doesn't work out or you change your mind here is one I have always wanted to try:

The only thing I am worried about is the corners, they look a lil sharp - I'd want to cushion them somehow or sand them down or something to smooth them out a lil bit...
