From looking through your pics it appears that you have your sump for the most part "soft" plumbed with flex? You could (assuming there is enough space height wise) lift the sump/fuge up(with layers of plywood), pull it forward, flush to the front of the stand and then "picture frame" it with a removable front panel?

Blue cloves from Wicked Frags. Grows extremely fast and a beautiful blue color. Easy to take care of, as in no special care.
