This looks like a really well thought out plan! Which equipment will you be running?

Thanks, I've been reading and collecting info for the past year on this build.
What I have so far is:

Lighting - T5's Ati
Heaters - 2 Finnex 300w
Return pumps - Waveline Dc pumps
Controller - Apex - Lab grade
More to go.

Will be working on setting up sump and water storage.

Yes T5's give off some of the best colouration, and the fixture is excellent quality.

Built the sump stand 18" high, plus sump should give me a good working height. There is room for storage underneath. Sump is 54"X20"X18" with 4 compartments. Drain/sock section, skimmer section, return section and refugium with blacked out glass.
