Update:
I have moved my sump from the cabinet below the tank into a small utility room directly behind the tank. This minimizes noise from the sump and makes maintenance a little easier. To save room in this small fish room, I have also moved my water change tank to underneath the cabinet, and will use a small maxi-jet to do water changes. I have put a few plastic storage bins under the stairs to hold food, testing kits and other assorted stuff. My electrical stuff is still a little bit of a mess, but I will be getting some sort of controller soon to clean up the mess. Eventually I plan on mounting a doser of some sort under the stairs as well. The plastic bin in the bottom left of the photo is my top-off container. It holds about 2 weeks worth of fresh water.
New "fish room", acutally more of a fish closet:
