Some suggestions for you in addition to Diana's:

1. Do it once and do it right.

2. Don't cut corners or costs.

3. Don't spend every dollar you have to do this, unless this rule conflicts with rules 1 and 2. Being a poor reefer and being reduced to a diet of tropical fish kinda defeats the purpose of this.

4. Don't do internal overflows... Like seriously, that's so 1998. External overflow boxes it where it's at. I'm glad you're considering it.

5. Go with a Beananimal-style drain system. Trust me, you'll be happy you did.

6. 26" inches high is gonna suck a bit. Go measure your arms, I'll wait... Back?... Ok, see what I mean? 24" would be the maximum I'd do without donning a wetsuit.
