How much would lighting and wet/dry sump cost?

[fobrinkle]

I've got a line on a 180 gallon aquarium. 6'x2'x2'- with oak stand and canopy, the tank has a corner overflow in it. A few questions.
1. What do I need to set up a wet/dry sump for the tank and how much $ should it take?
2. Will the wet/dry be enough filtration for a CA/SA cichlid community tank?
3. The canopy is there but no lighting. What options are there and how much?

I plan on setting up a sa/ca cichlid community tank with a couple of cats too. Any suggestions on what fish for it? Or possibly an aro. Never had one before.
