Lets say u comfirm wants to use undergravel.

Tank size of 90cm*45cm*45cm. You will need a glass for soil partition 90cm*5cm*0.5cm. Place it at 1/3 the width from behind. That leaves you a 90*30*5 ( 13.5 litres )for soil (lets say ada). Behind will be a volume of 90*10*5 to place your undergravel panel, lava rock chips and inert sand ( denneral ). If drilling is involve, i will suggest the holes to be at the water surface height you wants (example 40 cm). Like that you wont need to be scared of siphon loss.

Just my 1/4 cent.
