Default Getting tank built?

Im looking for advice on where to get a tank built as well as what to incorporate.

I have heard good things from golds and was looking for other suggestions on where to go for quotes.

This is what im looking for as of now

48 x 24(wide) x 18(tall)
Rimless
Black silicone
Herbie overflow
One or two returns drilled in the back glass with locline returns.
Starfire on front or all 3 viewing sides.

Questions
Rimless-Pros/Cons Would those of you who have rimless tanks do it again?

Herbie overflow- How big will I need for drains. I plan on running a hammerhead or barracuda return from the basement going approx 14 feet vertically and 12 feet horizontally. Also how big of a external box will i need on the back to fit this. (prolly just wide enough for a bulk head to fit??)

Would you go one or two outputs from the return?

Anything else you would add to the tank? If Im getting it custom made I might as well add everything i can think of.

Or I can add an external box and have my three drains feed into this and have my herbie in there.... only problem is that my current holes are drilled about a foot apart on my coast to coast so id have to do something like this, [IMG][/url][/IMG]

Red would be the return and go over the top. Or i could drill another hole in the back and have my return there.
