Love the idea of building a tank. Not sure about the dimensions. 12" front to back is very narrow, and is difficult to aquascape. 12" deep is pretty shallow.
Personally, if I were going to build a tank, I'd go somewhat shallow, probably 16", but would do at least 24" front to back. I think that "depth: is what lends the "real" reef feel to a tank.
JMO, of course. Best of luck!!
