I like the dimensions of the tank. Good for scaping. Look forward to more pics & updates.

Yes agree, have it in the best corner with the least natural light hitting. Or oyama the sides.

Also, try to have 2 returns.
If I ever have another tank, 2 returns , and 2 chillers with the 2nd one ready to cool 0.5 degree above the first one to cover for failure.

From yr sump, u should find out the length and width and maintenance clearance height. Water lvl issue can be solved by adding base to the skimmer.

Water level issue now is the most 8-9” only so I can’t have much choice for skimmer choice. I research most of the skimmer need 9.5 -11 inch of water

That looks like a 312, so that volume weighs about 170kg.

That’s a lot of weight on a smaller cabinet which may not be designed to take such loads.. would recommend to chg to one which is at least the same footprint as your tank & able to take the load, this way the even supports will prevent unbalanced stresses on the tank seams which may develop into leaks long-term.

Meanwhile, have to ensure no one places uneven weight on your current setup. JMO & all the best
