I would say get as big as you can fit and afford. As far as door height on a custom, the tank builder would probably be better to advise on door size and such since they will have to build in ventilation. Make sure they drill for a misting system if you plan on using one.

Depending on the size tank, and size of water feature, the pump you have will probably be adequate, but, why not have a bulkhead installed in the bottom portion and use a sump? You can even grow aquatic plants in the sump to increase bio filtration and improve water quality. Kind of like a reef tank refugium. You can have a water return bulkhead fitted as well.

I could go on and on, but you really need to decide on the tank and layout first. I think I gave you enough to think about to start off with.

No, i dont exactly wanna use sump, im not that advanced.... Yet and idea of having an extra tank for that is giving me a headache.
in that case do i have options of filter? I kinda like my pump and that i can adjust flow. Can i do a pump for water feature and some kinda internal filter hidden under false bottom for filtration? I do need filtration do i?

Misting system, you mean actual misting system ( mistking) or fogger? My mistking goes on max already, dont want to buy another one, fogger i can do, but do i need to?

Ultimately i would love not to drill glass and keep it as is.

Tank builder is the last person to ask for advise he will build whatever i need, but other then that... Im going to have screen top in any case ( partially covered im assuming), close to no ventilation from the front, crack between sliding doors, and that is it.
