Default will my tank idea work ?

hello all just a thought i had to get my tank drilled
asking all of you if my idea will work before i get it done and i have to chuck my new tank

any ways i have a 150/160 g tank depends who you ask
22D x 34H x 48L in the drawing i have the fittings on the back just in case i cant drill the bottom ,

water level will be 24-28"
i have a weipro sa-2016 skimmer
sump not known yet
return lines just rough may add more
other then that
a future wave box was an idea as well
power heads for water movement maybe on pulse if no wave box

it will be a mixed reef
cucumber
blennies
clown
golbies
mushrooms
toadstool
frogspawn
stuff like that nothing special
all in 55g switching to new tank soon

thanks for any help
jason

Is there a reason you went with such a low water level? Seems like a bit of a waste of space to me. other than that, looks promising!

i was thinking lite penetration, as i have to upgrade to 2 250w mh for this tank and if i added a wave box
i could take it to the top
but i have heard in the past shallow is better then tall ?
and i had to get the tank , got a good deal on it
i seen the height and thought it would be cool for fish to be able to swim

if it would be fine i will fill it

It'll be fine the way it is, I was just wondering. You could get some ROCKIN' waves going in that tank..
