My shallow build

[Sherman]

This is the existing AIO tank. 30 x 24 x 18 inch.

 

[Sherman]

I will only this panel

 

[Sherman]

[Sherman]

I use the tank volume calculator and find this tank is 56 U.S. Gal

You provided measurements in inches:

Width: 30" (76.2cm)
Height: 18" (45.72cm)
Depth: 24" (60.96cm)
Your tank's volume is approximately 12,960.0 cubic inches or 56.1 U.S. gallons

 

[Sherman]

if power outrage or return pump spoilt I allow 1 inch of display tank water volume drop .
This result in a tank volume of 3.1 U.S.Gal

You provided measurements in inches:
Width: 30" (76.2cm)
Height: 1" (2.54cm)
Depth: 24" (60.96cm)
Your tank's volume is approximately 720.0 cubic inches or 3.1 U.S. gallons

 

[Sherman]

From the above calculation I need at least a 4 Gal sump tank. Any Tank above 4 Gal is safe

 

[Sherman]

This is the cabinet internal measurement.
Planning to have electrical panel on the left side of the cabinet(6 INCH) and CR (9 inch)on the right side of the cabinet

You provided measurements in inches:
Width: 12" (30.48cm)
Height: 20" (50.8cm)
Depth: 20" (50.8cm)

Last nite use cardboard do a mockup.
12 x 20 x 20 inch is a bit tight.
14 x 20 x 20 inch sump is better
