It looks good to me!
I've been toying with the idea to set up something over my tanks too, biggest thing for me would be changing my lighting as they'd be inside, I thought of a PVC pipe with the media in it, some chives, basil, thyme, etc in it. Just having a small pump pumping it up one side to fill it then draining back out the other end back into the tank. (This would be over my 2 55G tanks inside lol)

I think it's very cool myself.
