Nice looking tank there Nanoreef.
 Why not get one of the old tank from Jamie's store for a sump.When i had my 280 going I used a 45 gallon rubbermaid tub its easy to use and drill into, But if you start getting micro bubbles like i did it hard to get rid of. Give Dan out in Shilo a call he will make you a sump for a round 30 bucks if that. ANd if you are planning on getting a topp off thur a RO unit its easier again to drill thou plastic. Pop over to my house and take a look at my 170 that i have going with the sump setup to get a few idea's are you going to put this inwall or on a stand in the house. If you are making a canopy think about having the unit sitting on top of the canop y so your canopy don't heat up . mike give me a call im on xmas leave now just sorting out my lights today and the trim around the tank. 728-0342

-Ok this is how the tank will run you are going to fill the tank complete including the overflows.
-Then you will have your sump all plumbed and fill that to a certain point where you want it to be say 10" high. -Then what you can do is have the return pipe plumbed and then you can either have it going full flow with durso pipes on the overflow pipe i find the durso's allow i little bit more flow IMO. - Then you can either tee off the mag back to the sump with a ball valve. that is what i would do... the pump will probably be to strong unless you tee it off .. AND no it will not drain your sump . call me and i will explain it to you ok. if you dont tee if off, u will probably get a sucking noise. mike
