Given the size and location of both my ATO reservoir and doser storage containers I need to implement some sort of raised siphon break system. Does anyone see any potential issues with the following design idea? I will be dosing Triton core 7 with this setup if that matters.

Triton core 7. Was thinking that the ato hose mounted above the doser outlets would keep things clean?
 
Your design is sound since it keeps the feed lines above their respective water level.

I would create 2-3 small holes in the feed line inside the reservoir above the water line as well. It will leak some while pumping but it is also a guaranteed siphon break as a backup. For dosing a peristaltic pump helps prevents siphoning which is a good backup to your design.
