40 Breeder Peninsula Build

[turbofreak403]

Hello Everyone, I have been working on this build for a little while now. I have a lot of the tank sorted. but still have a lot to work on.
Going to need some help from you guys on overflow designs and things like that so i figured i would show you all what I'm working with.

Its a 40 gallon breeder with a 20 long sump.
Tank will be laid out peninsula style with all my overflow and returns on the short end.
I will be building my own overflow box and either doing Herbie or Beananimal overflow design.
Tank will have a 24 LED Light that I'm building
Controlled with Reefkeeper
Skimmer in sump, small algae refugium. and return pump in sump
Might make it a media rack instead of refugium and have a small frag rack in sump. Still up in the air

Not sure what I'm missing or how to set the heights of the overflows but hopefully someone can help me out
Thanks for looking!

Hope you guys like.

Love peninsula style tanks. You going to be using it as some kind of room divider?
