Welcome, from Texas
Sounds like a awsome setup! Is it going to be fresh water or saltwater. Post some pic. soon. I just built a 150 into a cabinet wall. Major contruction, but all worth it. You will love it. I'm not sure about your whole system, but is 1 overflow enough. I'm new at this, so I don't know.

Welcome to the site!
With a skimmer and Tonga rock, I would be willing to bet it is a SW tank. I can't wait to see some pics!
