I need some dimensions so I can plan my control panel/equipment. Will also add a "wall" to close off sump area from dry/chiller area. No chiller so this section will be for equipment and electrical.

What I need:
Front to back (behind doors) for the "wall"
Side to side from the second sump to opposite (right side wall-looking in)

I'll add a board here and use dry side for mounting, as well as the back and other side.

Hubby is also going to do the wall mount light fixture. How far from each side should the lights be and how high above waterline.

The recommendation is 3 of the RS 160s lights (32" spread). LFS says to go 4. So I need the end spacing--either the edge of light or the center from the edge of tank

Did you go with 3 or 4 or other

thanks for any help or advice!

I believe I have the dimensions from @Jeffcb
28 3/8 from inside tank wall to outside overflow wall
overflow 5" front to back
lights 8.75 from each edge, center the inside 2 evenly

I'll have to wait for the cabinet for the inside wall as hubby will want to measure and get exact measurements lol's. I'll take a board and start planning how to mount equipment and plugs

Thanks @Reefing Madness
