I would make sure you use green board drywall surrounding the tank on the outside. I would also paint all the 2x4's and the back side of the drywall above/below the tank too. I put drywall in the whole fishroom, above and on the sides of tank, so I can't move the light forward any further. That's why I'm having such a problem. I'm moving from a FOWLR to a mixed reef and I didn't have these problems before. It looks nice and clean without front access doors, but It's impossible to get to the front of the tank to place corals and clean. I put my light on a unistrut trolley so I can move it completely out of the way. I don't have the head room to move the light higher than 2' above the tank. 2' sounds like a lot of room until your standing on a ladder trying to move things around.
