3) External Sump will take up some space, but that space isn't an issue since Overflow drains will be directly over sump.

My Lighting for short term will be 2x250W MH (Fixture is 48", but Bulbs move on track. Will widen, since currently at 36" width), and 2x3ft T5's.
But the T5 Ballast can handle a 4 foot T5.
derek made me a 60x24x18 rimless with 1/2"
