Default Design help! Pics of empty room.

So I have a basement with a 10' x 9' x 6'tall portion that I am going to use for a vegetable garden. I am thinking strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, basil and whatever else you think is a good idea for the space avail. I have two 400w lights with hoods, fan, filter. Other items I will need are easily available and I am going to build, not purchase, the systems themselves.

There are two pre-existing shop lights in the room that can be lowered or actually moved with a great deal of ease. The home was built by my grandfather in law, who is an electrician, and really wants to help with the room. So as far as technical aspects, I am good.

The room has a double step with about 6" - 10" of shelf clearence. I thought tube ebb and flow along the perimeter would be a good option. I am a big fan of reservoir feeding and would like to minimize the amount of standalone nutrient changes I have to do. (I understand different plants will have different nute requirements, so a large reservoir for the room is not possible.) Also willing to do a small tilapia tank in the room. Interested in compost teas as opposed to purchasing nutrients. All ideas and thoughts are welcome. I am a novice in experience but have a good grasp of most hydro-concepts. I have built several systems for herb gardens.
