I might suggest removing the "dry area" from the sump and drilling the end of the tank instead. Gives you more sump area and you're less likely to submerge your external pump in the event of a leaky seal / bad joint. I have a frag tank in a stacked system like you describe above and it's a pain in the rear to work in because I'm always bumping my head and have a hard time taking pictures because of space and lighting issues. Maybe you've already calculated for such things, but I thought I'd throw my 2c in... Looks like a nice plan though!
Thank you very much for the suggestions blennyman. I really considered drilling the sump. It would be better for the pumps, but would cause my tanks to either move right in front of a door or a window! Lol... I still considered it! I decided to put the pumps up a few inches and install a sensor on the floor of the tank to detect any water through the reef angel. The fragging and pics will be done in a separate 2'x2'x10" cube off to the side in the same room. That tanks lighting will be dimmable LEDs, so I can change the color temp as needed over each coral for pics. Thank you very much for the input! :-)
