Is it safe to install an American DJ power rack in the cabinet under my tank w/ my sump or could moisture get in it? The back of my stand is open.

You should be fine if the back is open.
Just keep the salt creep to a minimal that's all.
If you have time browse around on some build threads and ppl putting thousands of $$$$ in electrical equipment under the tank, controllers and dosers.

You could also add a layer of safety by putting childproof caps over the unused outlets.

I have an acrylic shield covering all the electronics to prevent splashes.
