Jerry,

Sounds like you've planned it out well. You'll get plenty of water movement
with a overflow box and the protein skimmer will also help oxygenate the
water.  I'd like to suggest the following:

A. Remember that where ever water can escape it will.  Don't forget the
checkvalves and T valves.

B.  Try glueing your rock right to the back of your tank and set it up as a
"wall dive".  

C.  Add a few powerheads to help circulate the water around the tank.

Good Luck,
J
