I use Kessil 360w E Series on my 74 column tank. The spread is incredible. You will get shadowing though toward the sand bed if you are more than 24" front to back.

I am thinking 4-5 of them with 80 inches wide. 24 inches front to back in the center.

How high of a stand do I need for plenty of room? Also this will be in the center of a wall in the house so it is very accessible.

The stand for my 90 is 40" high, but that's because it's basically a built in counter top. No end to the amount of room I have in there. The stand for my 50 frag tank is closer to 36", still high, but enough room for whatever gear I want. The stand under my 60 cube is a factory built, and it's miserably short when I look at the room in the other stands. For the size skimmer and plumbing you'll need for a big tank like you're thinking, I'd think 32" would be the lowest I'd go, but I'm old and inflexible, so I need room to work.
