Ive got a plan...P.LEOPOLODI rarest of the Pterophyllum genus, They are the most agressive angels and they are also the smallest.They are also known as 'dwarf angels' and they would be ok for your tank. I would say as these are small (5 cm ) you could get away with 24 of them in your tank along with a school of 200 rummy noses and some nice catfish 
You guys need to remember how expensive nice lighting is. For a 4 foot deep tank it would need to be ridiculously bright to make it a nice planted tank. Same thing for a reef.
There are a lot of other silly suggestions too. Just because it is 400 gallons doesn't mean monsters can be kept in it...its only 5 feet long.

I have seen flooded rainforest setups using fake plants with great success. The main attraction I had in mind for a tank like that, is not the plants, but the tall driftwood sticking out above the water surface replicating submerged trees.
Yeah, I think the flooded forest tank or a nice african setup with a bunch of rockwork would be cool. Otherwise I'd go with the RBP's.
Actually that would really make a nice Paludarium. Lower 2' or so water and the upper tropical plants. Do something like a Madagascar biotope You could mix in Fish and small herps like Jeweled Chameleon (Chameleo lateralis) or some geckos and Madagascar Rainbowfish (Bedotia madagascariensis).
im seriously considering removing the front glass and buying a chunk of glass for the top. that way i can flip it on its back and have a 60x48x33.
