New Tank setup.... suggestions?

By external overflows, do you mean HOB overflows or ones actually cut into the glass?

The dimensions are great. Not too high so its easy to work in and light and wide enough so you can do some very fancy and stable aquascaping.

Also, if possible, rough in a spot so that you can have a drain fed protein skimmer. The performance on drain fed protein skimmers with recircuation pumps is insane.
