A wall with no studs is a giant window or a concrete wall. Maybe Denny's soon to be invented lights are the best option.....

The wall is about 3 feet think. I think it contains a hidden fireplace. I have removed entire sheets of drywall in other parts of the house, a stud only at each end of the wall.. Pretty sure it was an add-on by a drunk homeowner -lol

Denny's option would cause too much evaporation, which is why I went to LED to begin with.
Doug has a nice wooden rack that he made for Radions, I might be able to do something with that idea..

Oh heck.. Suspend them from the ceiling and let your better half get crafty and hid the cables.. Grow an ivy up them or something. You will be amazed how easy it is to work in your tank with them hangin. You could run a line between the cables and use it to dry your undies!
