John,
Here is a picture of the lights and the power cord & data cord. So you can see where the plugs are. (keep in mind this picture was taken from the left side of the tank)

 

[bueller]

made the width opening for the lights 12 in. will it need a extra 1/2 in. on the left side if your looking stright on at the tank for the power cord???
