like the idea of a planters along the sides of the tank too , the front should leave it empty

Interesting concept!

I saw a similar design but instead of a normal tank setup, the water is filled to the brim and actually allowed to overflow over the edges of the 4 sides (there is no intake pipe).

Here is the link: http://zeroedgeaquarium.com/

The overflowed water drops into a sump tank below, gets filtered, then is pumped back up to an output pipe and then overflow again, looks like those infinity pools.

What a waste!!
Also, why should we go through so much to plan & prepare for such an event? Would be easier to just ensure that there's nothing on the floor for the water to damage.
Also, most of the time, the biggest loss are in livestock and from pumps and canisters being burnt out because the water dried up in the tank.
I'm sure this cabinet is not cheap. I would much rather spend that money on a good tank or change the tank every few years to prevent leaks in the first place!
