If your sump is wide open for everyone to see then I would agree with your wife that it is probably quite unsightly

I'm still planning (in my head) how I want to aquascape this tank. At first I was just going to dump some (live) rocks in there and be done with it since this wasn't really meant to be a display tank. However, now that I've seen the tank on its stand I'm starting to really fall in love with it and am wanting to put more effort into making it more of a display(ish) tank and have some fun.

I am not personally a fan of closed loops. I appreciate their benefits but every time I try to formulate a closed loop system (a few times for my 150g tank, and a few times for this tank), I am never happy with how it turns out for various reasons. That's just me though :-)
