Some people buy a sump because of special features and compartments for special filters. All sumps are the same pretty much. So yes DIY save some money.
The size if the sump will depend on where you want to lay it out. I prefer mine in the cabinet below out of view. So you would make one that fits. If you plan on growing macro algae to lower nitrates, just know a you will need a light source. Thats why i like mine in the cabinet so its not so bright.
90 seems to be the norm. 120 would be useful if you couldnt get the panels up away fromt he water enough, and 60 degree lenses are good for people that want a bit of distance between the lights and tank.So I was wondering what lenses I should have on my taotronics... I think they have 90 degree not 120. Is this OK?

Well quickly update. Painted the back of the tank. Putting finishing touch on the stand and just ordered the apex lite controller. Apparently apex is no longer making the lite. Just junior and higher models!
wait what?!? please tell me this is a recent thing and they didn't stop production months ago. im about to order an APex Lite here in the next 2-3 weeks.
