I am building a custom stand w enclosure. The sump section will be hidden
in the furniture. Not much different, really, than putting it underneath.

Yes. That's very nice.
I have always used a sump arangement like that in the past.
I've always gone to the expense of having the tank drilled and the trouble
of the pvc plumbing. What makes me uncomfortable is passing seawater
through the external pipes in my living room. In the past, these tanks were
located in a place where the occasional drip/leak/spill were no big deal.
