I am currently getting things around to build a 60 cube tank. I've got the tank and stand ordered. I know what rock l, sand, overflow, and powerheads figured out. Where I'm having a problem is the sump and lighting. The problem with the sump is it has to fit in the stand and that space is only 22"x22". As far as the lighting goes I really like the AI Hydra 26 HD. I just don't know if it's going to be enough light for the tank. So I guess I came here to get your guys opinions on my lighting and sump decisions.

2 hydra 26s non HD on a 48"x 20" tank. I love these lights and yours even put more output if you decide to get the HDs you shouldn't have any shadowing. It'll be more than enough.

For the sump you can get the trigger cube sump. It should fit in your stand if I'm remembering right. That is if you wanna go with a pre made sump

I really want a synergy sump but the only one they have that will fit has a huge backorder time. So I will probably have to go premade
