Nice! Another very overbuilt stand (and I'm not knocking it at all.) You did screw AND glue all joints? My only suggestion would be to lose the cross braces on the bottom - they serve no purpose at all. If you remove them and then use a piece of plywood underneath you will have a nice place for your sump that, assuming you seal it well, will be able to catch any spills/leaks without the water escaping into your living area.
Are you planning on skinning it with something? Even 1/4" plywood will reinforce it so that it cannot twist and possible fail.

Leaks happen. They just do. Hoses can come off. Skimmers overflow. splashes and drips happen.
All you can do is minimize the risks. On of the easy ways is to do as I suggested and place the sump down between the bottom perimeter boards as I suggested. And the Stone veneer will look nice! Pictures when it's done please!

I added a shower drain liner in mine. It has worked really well.
