I have received a quote for my custom 60x24x30 tank with external overflow and black back walls etc..so far so good.
If I go with an L shape tank that is 42" front panel longx48" side panel long that still gives them 5.5' feet of swim room about 200 gallons I think.
An L shape with these dimensions makes it that I do not have to move a wall and I think I would like an L better.
Awaiting L quote.
How does this look for water flow?

If my return flow is enough , which i think it whould be with enough of a overflow with 2 1.5" drains in it I could Y the two returns ,

Looks good to me. The only issue I want to point out is: Be careful with the corner on the inside of the L. That's the weak point of your tank and only a small impact there can cause your tank to fail. Otherwise, I'm all for L tanks. ;) Well, okay, L tanks are custom and custom tanks are expensive. There's the other problem.
 
I would add a 2nd input for your closed loop. This will do 2 things for you.
1. This will reduce the pressure reducing the chance of someone getting sucked in
2. If one gets clogged, then your closed loop wont shut down.

I would also add at least 2 more outlets for your closed loops by the vortecs.
