Looks good, but I would be tempted to with 5' x 3' with same height.
And overflow in center is my preference, good if you plan on wavebox.
Let us know how it turns out.
Cheers.

im not big on dual overflows, and i have a center overflow on a 4' tank and hate when i need to do anything in there, i would go with just one overflow unless that wont work for some reason

I think you will need a centre brace if you are going acrylic. Just my thought.

you think with 3/4" acrylic and a 3 inch eurobrace i would really need a center brace?
what are the benefits of having a center overflow versus the 2 herbies?

i was gonna go with 4x4 foot but would have to remove my closet door may still go 4x3.
would love larger unfortunately space in all directions is an issue.
